§ Mr. Loverseedasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he will appoint a certain week and take steps to ensure that, so far as possible throughout the Royal Navy, when each man receives his pay in respect of that week, he shall also receive the form necessary in order to be placed on the absent voters' list or to have his vote recorded by proxy, together with an explanation on how to complete it.
§ Captain PilkingtonIt is not practicable to adopt the hon. Member's suggestion. The Admiralty are, however, alive to the importance of ensuring that every man in the Royal Navy has an 1329W opportunity to register himself as an absent voter or to appoint a proxy to record his vote. The orders which are being issued provide that officers shall be detailed to explain the procedure to the men and to assist them in the completion of the forms.
