HC Deb 29 June 1981 vol 7 c242W
Mr. Hordern

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will introduce legislation to allow voters who were absent from their homes on holiday to cast their votes in writing in both general and local elections.

Mr. Whitelaw

I intend to make a statement before long about this and the other matters which I have been considering in my review of electoral law and procedures.
