HC Deb 30 October 1990 vol 178 c446W
Mr. Darling

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the latest date that an application can be accepted by an electoral registration officer for an overseas voter to be included on the electoral roll effective from 15 February 1991.

Mrs. Rumbold

Overseas electors' declarations must be made on or before 10 October but, as with returns from domestic electors, need not necessarily be received by the electoral registration officer by that date: they may be treated as claims for inclusion in the draft register or, depending on when they are received, for inclusion in the published register.

Mr. Darling

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list the number of overseas electors applications received by the electoral registration officer in each parliamentary constituency as at 10 October.

Mrs. Rumbold

The information is not held centrally and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
