HC Deb 29 May 1951 vol 488 c10W
Surgeon Lieut.-Commander Bennett

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty what arrangements exist to ensure the franchise of naval officers and men, when appointed to foreign stations, when attached to ships of Dominions navies, when lent to Dominions navies, and when lent to foreign navies, respectively; and of their wives when these accompany them abroad.

Mr. W. J. Edwards

All officers and men drafted abroad and wives who leave the United Kingdom to join their husbands are given the opportunity of completing a declaration card, which provides for electoral registration and the appointment of a proxy.
