HC Deb 01 July 1992 vol 210 cc553-4W
Mr. Ainger

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on the basis on which expatriate voters were allocated to each constituency.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

Overseas electors are registered in the constituency in which they were last registered as electors before leaving the United Kingdom. If they left the country before they were old enough to vote, they are registered in the constituency in which a parent or guardian was registered at the time they left the country.
