§ Mr. FoulkesTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list the number of electors in the 1992 provisional electoral register for each constituency in Scotland and the equivalent number on the 1991 register.
§ Lord James Douglas-Hamilton[holding answer 16 January 1992]: The information requested by the hon. Member is set out in the table. I must emphasise, however, that the numbers in the draft registers are likely to differ from those in the final registers because of late returns. The final registers will be published in a few weeks' time.
