HC Deb 15 December 1969 vol 793 c241W
87. Mr. Edward M. Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is aware of the difficulties which some young voters have experienced in inspecting copies of the new electoral rolls; and if he will take steps to clarify where these rolls are in fact available.

Mr. Ross

By regulations made under the Representation of the People Act it is for the electoral registration officer to give notice of the places at which the electoral lists may be inspected. This has been done by Press advertisements and the posting of notices locally. The Scottish Information Office has also arranged for national Press publicity and for radio and television announcements. I have received no representations that electors are having difficulty in getting access to the lists.
