HC Deb 04 February 1981 vol 998 c115W
Mr. Bob Dunn

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will publish in the Official Report the number of representations that have been made to his Department about the reintroduction of the business vote.

Mr. Mayhew

This Department has received nine letters on this matter in the last 12 months, all of which have advocated the reintroduction of a non-residential voting qualification—or "business vote"—at local elections.
