HC Deb 09 March 1950 vol 472 c14W
Sir W. Darling

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what action he proposes to take to ensure greater accuracy in the compilation of the Electoral Roll.

Mr. McNeil

The electoral registration officers do their utmost to see that the register is accurate; and electors themselves can help by making sure at the proper time that their names are on the lists from which the register is compiled. The contents of the 1950 register have already been settled; but future registration procedure is to be discussed later this month by my Department with representative electoral registration officers, when they will discuss their recent experiences of the roll.
