§ Mr. McLarenasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that the electoral registration officer for Bristol has had to incur an extra expenditure of £400 for clerical assistance owing to the late delivery by his Department of supplies of Form A; and whether he will arrange that in future these supplies are delivered earlier in the year to avoid waste of public money.
§ Mr. R. A. ButlerI regret the difficulties caused by the late delivery of these forms. Every effort will be made by my Department and by Her Majesty's Stationery Office to ensure that the forms will be available earlier in future years.
