HL Deb 27 July 1944 vol 132 c1181

Report from the Special Orders Committee, That they have examined the Special Order as required by the Standing Orders of the House; that in their opinion the provisions of the Order raise important questions of policy and principle which have been accepted already by the House when passing the Parliamentary Electors (War-Time Registration) Acts, 1943 and 1944, under which the Order is submitted for approval; that the Order is founded on precedent inasmuch as similar regulations have been submitted for approval by Parliament; that in the opinion of the Committee the Order cannot be passed by the House without special attention, but that no further inquiry is necessary before the House proceeds to a decision on the Resolution to approve the said Order:

Read, and ordered to lie on the Table.
