§ Mr. Kaufmanasked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many overseas voters have been registered for each United Kingdom parliamentary constituency.
§ Mrs. CurrieThe information required will not be available centrally until the end of April 1987. Overseas voters were not eligible to vote prior to the compilation of the 1986 register. As a result of changes in the regulations (The Representation of Peoples Act 1985) by the Home Office which followed a report by the Select Committee on Home Affairs, some people resident overseas can now vote. The 1986 register is the first to be affected.
