HC Deb 24 June 1976 vol 913 c581W
33. Mr. Beith

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will now introduce legislation to implement the unanimous recommendation of the Speaker's Conference of 1973 that multiple registration for parliamentary elections should be prohibited.

Mr. John

There are practical difficulties that would have to be overcome to implement this recommendation effectively. The Government have no immediate plans for legislation on this point.

46. Sir Nigel Fisher

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will recommend the setting up of a Speaker's Conference to consider the matters contained in the report of the Hansard Society Commission on Electoral Reform.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

I refer the hon. Member to the answer that I gave earlier today to the hon. Member for Lewes (Mr. Rathbone).
