Part of the debate – in the House of Commons am 12:00 am ar 28 Hydref 1947.
It is undoubtedly a practical and a sensible course which the right hon. Gentleman is recommending to the House. There could be no question, at this stage, of reverting to the registration procedure which was contemplated by the Act of 1943. As the right hon. Gentleman has stated, the Committee on Electoral Registration has recommended that for the future, registration shall be by reference to a single qualifying date. In those circumstances, we shall take no objection to the Motion.
