HC Deb 13 December 1979 vol 975 c718W
41. Mr. Beith

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is satisfied that adequate means exist to prevent people who appear on the electoral register of more than one constituency from voting in both constituencies in a general election.

Mr. Brittan

Yes. In the absence of evidence that double voting takes place on any significant scale I do not consider that any new procedures are needed.
