HC Deb 07 November 1968 vol 772 c145W
Mr. Wingfield Digby

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what percentage of householders fails to return the forms necessary for the compilation of the new electoral register each year; and whether he will consider arranging for announcements to be made on television and radio reminding householders to return the forms.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

I regret that this figure is not available, but the percentage is likely to be very small. As regards the second part of the Question, there is already such an arrangement.
