§ Colonel StanleyNo special arrangements have been made. Sections 8 and 11 of the Parliament (Elections and Meeting) Act, 1943, and Section 3 of the Representation of the People Act, 1945, apply to members of the Forces, seamen, and war workers, who, but for the war, would have been residing in the United Kingdom. I am advised, however, that members of the Palestine Police Force do not come within these provisions.
