HC Deb 22 November 1967 vol 754 c380W
Mr. Ernest G. Perry

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will take the necessary measures to indicate on the Electoral Register for 1968, electors of 70 years of age and over, so that welfare workers, both professional and voluntary can have their tasks made easier.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

No. The proposal would require legislation and there are strong objections to extending the purpose of the electoral register in this way.
