§ Mr. Roderickasked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish the number of unresolved objections, arising from the registration procedure embodied in the Commons (Registration) Act 1965, still outstanding in respect of the former counties of Brecon and Radnor, the whole of Wales, and the whole of England, respectively; and what plans he has for speeding up the processing of remaining objections.
§ Mr. Alec JonesThe numbers of unresolved objections arising from the registration procedure are: Powys, 2,544; Wales, 5,458; England, 22,876. I understand the Commissioners' Office has redistributed the commissioners' workload so as to increase resources for dealing with Welsh cases. Efforts are also being made to recruit additional commissioners.
