§ Mr. Mitchisonasked the Secretary of State for War the procedure for bringing 130W to the notice of serving personnel, other than commissioned officers, their right to register for Service votes.
§ Mr. SoamesThe procedure is set out in a pamphlet "Elections—Registration and Voting Procedures" which is issued to all units. Copies are in the Library. The pamphlet includes instructions for action to be taken each year to remind all concerned of their right to make a Service declaration.
§ Mr. Mitchisonasked the Secretary of State for War if he will publish on the Official Report, as at the latest convenient date, the number and percentage of serving personnel, other than commissioned officers, who have made a declaration with a view to registration as Service voters.
