HC Deb 08 December 1964 vol 703 cc183-4W
Mr. Charles Morrison

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what proposals he has to improve and make more efficient rules regarding electoral registration for Service personnel; and what proposals he has to improve voting facilities for Service personnel, in particular those whose postings change between registration and an election.

Mr. George Thomas

Suggestions in connection with the registration of Service men and their wives are being considered as part of a general review of electoral law. If the hon. Member has any particular improvements of the present arrangements to suggest, my right hon. Friend would be glad to consider them. As regards voting facilities for Service men, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave to the hon. Member for Norfolk, South-West (Mr. Hawkins) on 10th November.
