HC Deb 16 November 1944 vol 404 c2096
20. Mr. Driberg

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if, in view of the probable postponement until next summer or autumn of a general election, he will endeavour to make it possible for Service men and women aged 21 and over to vote at such by-elections as may occur in constituencies in which they are normally resident.

Mr. H. Morrison

After 1st December when the new electoral arrangements come into operation a Service elector will be able to vote in the manner provided by the law at a by-election in a constituency containing the address to which he has declared.

Mr. Driberg

Does that apply both to Service men on duty in this country and to those serving abroad?

Mr. Morrison

Yes, Sir.
