§ Mr. Sorensenasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in view of the concern respecting enfranchisement of men and women serving in the Forces, he will take immediate steps to confer with the Ministers at the head of the three Services in order to secure not only that notification shall be given to Service men and women but also that effective steps shall be taken to see their names are enrolled.

§ Mr. H. MorrisonI have consulted the Ministers concerned and I am satisfied that the three Service Departments are taking all practical steps to ensure that, as required by Section 10 of the Act of 1943, all members of the Forces shall, so far as circumstances permit, have an effective opportunity of applying for registration in the Service Register, and shall receive proper instructions and assistance for this purpose.
