§ 63. Wing Commander Bullusasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will introduce legislation to enable the postal vote to be allowed to those who are on holiday at the time of a General Election.
§ 65. Mr. Cooper-Keyasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will introduce legislation to permit persons on holiday during a General Election to register their votes.
§ Major Lloyd-GeorgeNo. If this were done, I doubt whether it would be logically possible to stop short of allowing virtually anyone to vote by post who preferred to do so. An extension of postal voting on this scale could not be undertaken without very careful examination of its implications and full discussion between the parties.
§ 64. Mr. Bennasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will send a circular to all electoral registration officers drawing their attention to the desirability of arranging that in future all electoral registers shall bear the appropriate style, Mr., Mrs. or Miss, in each case after the names of the registered voters.
§ Major Lloyd-GeorgeNo. I do not think that the cost of the extra work and printing involved would be justified.
