HC Deb 13 April 1978 vol 947 c503W
Mrs. Bain

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will take steps to ensure that students, who support the implementation of the Scotland Bill and who are registered to vote both at home and at their places of study, will not have their votes cancelled out in the devolution referendum as a result of their failure to appear at one or other of the polling stations at which they are registered.

Mr. Harry Ewing

Multiple registration is one of a number of issues now being considered by Ministers in relation to the conduct of the referendum provided for in the Scotland Bill.
