HC Deb 12 November 1918 vol 110 c2553W
157. Sir A. FELL

asked the President of the Local Government Board if he will arrange with the War Office that persons serving abroad or at home who are candidates or agents at the election should have leave at least three weeks before the nomination day, to give them reasonable time to make the arrangements necessary to cope with the increased electorate?

Mr. MACPHERSON

My right hon. Friend has asked me to reply. I have telegraphed to the distant theatres of war asking that leave should be given to prospective or adopted candidates.
