HC Deb 12 March 1973 vol 852 c256W
Mr. Knox

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what measures he is taking to encourage younger voters to register for parliamentary and local elections.

Mr. Carlisle

Particular attention is paid to 16 to 18-year-olds in all the publicity which is given to the canvass and to the need to check the electors lists when they are on display. Special features aimed at young people last year included one which was broadcast on BBC Radio London.
