HC Deb 30 October 1979 vol 972 c461W
Mr. Alexander

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if, to assist those elderly and housebound who take a close interest in parish affairs, he will take steps to amend the Representation of the People Act to provide for postal voting in parish council elections.

Mr. Whitelaw

I shall be considering this matter in the course of my review of absent voting procedures.
