HC Deb 11 March 1919 vol 113 c1121W
Major HURST

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether he is aware that a number of the forms of Parliamentary claims (R.P. 23a) have been issued containing a material misstatement affecting the annual value required for the qualification of women; find whether, seeing that the use of such forms has probably involved a large number of persons in making false declarations, he will instruct registration officers that the use of these forms shall not invalidate the claims and that proceedings shall not be taken against such claimants?

Major ASTOR

My attention had not previously been drawn to the fact that there is a printer's error in some of the forms of claim which have been supplied in the North of England. The forms are not supplied by the Local Government Board. I will communicate with registration officers in the matter.
