HC Deb 25 June 1964 vol 697 c114W
54. Mr. Spriggs

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what representations have been made to his Department by people who have attained the age of twenty-one years prior to an election but are unable to vote; and what replies he has sent.

Mr. Woodhouse

Since the canvass for the current register began last autumn, my right hon. Friend has received representations from 21 persons, either directly or through their Members of Parliament. In reply it has been explained the origin of the arrangements for "Y" voters and the problems which would be involved in making any change.
