HC Deb 27 June 1979 vol 969 c175W
Mr. David Clark

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will take steps to extend postal vote facilities for parish council elections.

Mr. Whitelaw

I refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave to a question by the hon. Member for Colne Valley (Mr. Wainwright) on 25 June.

Mr. Wm. Ross

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list in the Official Report the number and percentage of votes cast by absent voters in each constituency in the United Kingdom on 3 May and on 7 June.

Mr. Brittan

Information about postal votes in these elections is not yet available centrally. Information on the number of postal votes in the general election on 3 May will be published for each constituency in "Election Expenses" in due course. Information on the number of postal votes in the European election will be published in due course but not in terms of parliamentary constituencies.
