HC Deb 07 June 1945 vol 411 c1085W
Mr. Hammersley

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will explain the arrangements made to enable members of the Diplomatic and Consular Services to vote at the General Election.

Sir D. Somervell

Members of the Diplomatic and Consular Services who are resident abroad are not eligible for electoral registration. The only persons who can qualify when resident abroad, except in respect of a university constituency, are persons who but for their war service would be resident in this country.
