§ Mr. SpeakerThe House will recall that on 19th July last I announced the names of the right hon. and hon. Members who had agreed to serve on my Conference on Electoral Law. Since that date the hon. Member for Esher (Mr. Mather) has notified me that he has been obliged to withdraw because of other commitments. I am grateful to the hon. Member for Buckingham (Mr. Benyon), who has accepted my invitation to serve in place of the hon. Member for Esher.
