HC Deb 13 May 1948 vol 450 cc248-9W
Mr. N. Macpherson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what system of election he intends to adopt in the five multi-membered constituencies of Mauritius.

Mr. Rees-Williams

The arrangements for elections in the multi-membered constituencies of Mauritius are set out in Part III of the Mauritius Legislative Council Ordinance, enacted on the 4th February, 1948. In particular, the arrangements for voting are indicated in Sections 25 and 26 of that Ordinance. I am arranging for a copy of the Ordinance to be placed in the Library of the House of Commons.
