HC Deb 05 November 1970 vol 805 c1241
13. Mr. George Cunningham

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps he is taking to improve the design of Form A used in compiling electoral registers.

Mr. Sharples

This form was redesigned in 1968 and minor improvements have since been made.

Mr. Cunningham

Does the Minister realise that one reason why Form A finds its way into the drawer and is ignored is that it does not point out sufficiently clearly that it is an offence not to return it? Will he consider amending it to obviate this difficulty?

Mr. Sharples

The hon. Gentleman has written to me about this and I am considering this suggestion along with some of his others.
