HC Deb 26 March 1975 vol 889 c143W
Mr. Sims

asked the Lord President of the Council to what extent additional copies of the electoral register will be available without charge in connection with the forthcoming referendum; and who will be entitled to them.

Mr. Edward Short

Provision is made under Regulation 22 of the Representation of the People Regulations 1974 for limited numbers of free copies of the register to be supplied to the Member of Parliament for a constituency and to candidates and prospective candidates for a parliamentary election in that constituency. No additional copies will be made available to any person without charge for the referendum, but copies may be supplied so long as there are sufficient copies available on payment of the fees prescribed in Regulation 23.
