HC Deb 16 June 1971 vol 819 c105W
Mr. Mudd

asked the Secretary of Slate for the Home Department if, in order to encourage interest and participation in the various local government elections preceding implementation of his local government reorganisation proposals, he will take steps to provide for the issuing of poll-cards and polling instructions to all local government electors.

Mr. Sharples

No. The cost would be considerable and my right hon. Friend doubts whether the effects would be commensurate.
