§ Mr. Dobsonasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what publicity he intends to fund, in the way of advertising in national or local newspapers, in respect of the compilation of the electoral register for 1986–87.
§ Mr. MellorA publicity campaign will be mounted later this year to coincide with the annual canvass for the 1986 electoral register. Advertisements will appear in the national and ethnic press and on independent local radio stations throughout the country. These will emphasise the need for all those eligible to ensure that their names are included in the electoral registration return, form A, so that they do not lose the right to vote at any elections held during the life of the 1986 register.
