§ Mr. Harry EwingTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how many people living abroad applied to be included on the 1991 register of electors which has a qualifying date of 10 October 1990 in each parliamentary constituency in Scotland.
§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonInformation on the number of applicants from overseas to be included in the 1991 register of electors is not held centrally. The number of overseas electors included in the 1991 register will become known after the register is finalised in February next year and I will write to the hon. Member and place a copy of the information in the Library as soon as it becomes available.
