§ Mr. Juddasked the Minister of State for Defence whether he will undertake a review into the availability of information about political party programmes and candidates to Service voters away from home at election time; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Ian GilmourI am satisfied that the existing arrangements for giving Service men information about forthcoming elections are sufficient to enable them either to exercise their vote or to allow their nominated proxies to do so. The dissemination of information about party programmes is a matter for individual candidates.
