asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that in some cases electors belonging to different polling districts and even different constituencies and counties, have been included in the same sheet of the Electoral Register, published on 7th May; and that the paper used is not strong enough for the usage it is likely to receive; and whether he will correct these defects when printing the next register.

I am aware of the facts stated in this Question. They arise because, owing to the limited printing facilities available, it was necessary in some cases to have recourse to newspaper presses for the printing of the register. These objections will, so far as possible, be overcome in the future.
