HC Deb 01 May 1980 vol 983 c599W
15. Mr. Sheerman

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will seek to amend the Representation of the People Act 1949 so as to give votes to those patients in mental hospitals who are currently disenfranchised as a result of having no alternative electoral address.

Mr. Brittan

We have no present plans to do so.
