HC Deb 18 November 1946 vol 430 c49W
148. Mr. Awbery

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will consider the desirability of changing the date of the municipal elections in county and non-county boroughs from 1st November to a more suitable date when the days are longer, in order to encourage a larger number of people to exercise their franchise in these important elections.

Mr. Oliver

This matter will receive consideration, but my right hon. Friend is not in a position to make any statement at present.
