HC Deb 27 July 1976 vol 916 c137W
Mr. Michael McNair-Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what consideration he has given to modifying the present system of electoral registration so that the elector remains on the register of the constituency where he lives unless he informs that local authority that he has moved elsewhere.

Mr. John

Electoral registration was fully considered by the Speaker's Conference of 1972–74, but it did not recommend any change in the law on the lines suggested by the hon. Member.
