HC Deb 21 October 1968 vol 770 cc228-9W
Mr. Marten

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if, in view of the delays in postal services, he will arrange to extend the qualifying date of 10th October 1968 by when Form A has to he returned to the electoral registration officer and delay the sending of the register to the printers for two weeks.

Mr. Ennals

Though early return of Form A is very desirable, 10th October is the qualifying date and not the date by which the form must be returned.
