§ Mr. Brockwayasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, in view of public unawareness on the matter, if he will issue a statement making clear the responsibilities of local authorities to register all persons eligible for the electoral roll and of landlords to make a return for this purpose of all those who 161W have been resident in their accommodation for six months or more.
§ Mr. WoodhouseMuch publicity is obtained in the Press, through the sound and television broadcasting services, and by means of Post Office slogans, for the preparation of the electoral register. In addition electoral registration officers arrange local Press and poster publicity. The form which electoral registration officers send each year to the occupiers of property makes it clear that the law requires a return to be made of all persons resident in the premises on the qualifying date.
