§ Mr. RookerTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make it his policy to send to all recipients of mobility allowance over 18 years of age a reminder that they are eligible for a proxy or postal vote at elections without the need of supporting signatures of qualified persons.
§ Mrs. RumboldWe are not aware that there is a general lack of knowledge among electors who receive a mobility allowance about their absent voting rights. However, we are considering ways in which the provisions allowing an absent vote both for an indefinite period and at a particular election might be made more widely known.
