§ Sir WILLOUGHBY DICKINSONasked the Postmaster-General whether he can state the latest date after the Royal Declaration dissolving Parliament by which candidates are to post their election addresses to naval and military voters on the absent voters' lists; and whether he will guarantee that such election 2127W addresses, if posted by that date, will be delivered to absent voters before they receive their ballot papers?
§ Mr. ILLINGWORTHCommunications intended for delivery to naval and military absent voters should be posted as early as possible, and in any case not later than two days after the issue of the Royal Proclamation. The best arrangements possible will be made to deliver such communications to absent voters, but it is impossible to guarantee delivery before the receipt of the ballot papers.
