HC Deb 20 November 1990 vol 181 c70W
Mr. Nellist

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what information he has as to the number of overseas electors whose names were added to local electoral roles in each constituency; how much was spent promoting overseas the new rules and regulations; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Rumbold

Information on the number of overseas electors who will be included in the 1991–92 electoral register will not become available until the publication of the draft register on 28 November. Approximately £425,000 has been or will be spent by the Home Office and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in publicising overseas the new provisions on voting by British citizens living abroad.
