Sir LEICESTER HARMSWORTHasked the Secretary for Scotland if his attention has been directed to the desire on the part of some municipalities of Scotland, including the town council of Wick, for the amendment of the Representation of the People Act, 1918, with a view to providing that one register of voters in the year should be framed instead of two, as at present, because the latter arrangement confers no political benefit upon those entitled to be placed on the list of voters, while it entails expenditure of time and expense; and whether he will make inquiries into the suggestion?
§ Mr. MUNROThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. As regards the second part, I would refer the hon. Baronet to my reply of the 1st instant to the hon. Member for the Montrose Burghs. The matter is receiving; consideration.
