HC Deb 13 June 1977 vol 933 c33W
Mr. Cordle

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will introduce legislation to enable all persons who intend to be away from their parliamentary constituencies on holiday at the time of any General Election and by-election to claim a postal vote.

Mr. John

It would be appropriate for this matter to be further considered by a Speaker's Conference before any decision were taken on new legislation.
