§ Major HURSTasked the President of the Local Government Board whether he is aware that there is a considerable 1500W delay in obtaining from His Majesty's Stationery Office, Peter Street, Manchester, the various Orders and Instructions made under the Representation of the People Act, 1918; that it is sometimes possible to obtain these Orders at His Majesty's Stationery Office, Abingdon Street, Westminster, some weeks before the same forms are obtainable in Manchester; and whether he will consider the desirability of issuing instructions whereby a sufficient number of copies are at once forwarded to the Manchester office, in order to meet the demands of regular subscribers?
§ Mr. BALDWINThe various Orders and Instructions made under the Representation of the People Act, 1918, are usually available in Manchester on the day following publication in London. No complaints have been received so far from regular subscribers or the general public as to inability to obtain these Orders and Instructions from His Majesty's Stationery Office, Manchester. No case is known where these Orders have been obtainable in London weeks before the same forms were obtainable in Manchester.
