Talk:Representation of the People Act 1918

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I suspect this was also the Act that fixed general elections on one day (as opposed to being run over various days as before). Can't find a reference for this though. Morwen - Talk 12:41, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

Parliament lists this as the text of the Act of 1918. There's no mention of any set date though. Perhaps its not the full text? Typos 08:37, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

That is obviously not the full text, what with it starting with section 4 and everything. Morwen - Talk 16:28, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Redistribution of seats

Does anyone know whether it was this Act which redistributed the constituences in 1918? I looked at the list of 1918 Acts, but I don't see any other likely candidates. However, I don't want to just assume that it's this one. --BrownHairedGirl ^{(talk) • (contribs)} 19:48, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes it was: to roughly 70,000 in each constituency (although whether that is voters or population I don't know) --86.131.76.178 17:41, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
