§ 21. Sir W. Wakefieldasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is aware that the application of Mr. Geoffrey R. Palmer and his wife Mrs. L. M. Palmer of 31 Balcombe Street, St. Marylebone for registration has been refused; and whether he is satisfied that these persons are not eligible to vote in the forthcoming London County Council elections.
§ Mr. EdeI understand that Mr. and Mrs. Palmer are registered as electors in Deptford, and that these were applications to be treated as absent voters. It is for the Registration Officer to determine such applications, subject to any appeal to the County Court under Section 70 of the Representation of the People Act, 1948, and I have no power to intervene.
