Mr. Nicholas Brown

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what statutory references to hon. Members have been made in legislation introduced by his Department, or his predecessors, since 1965. [17032]

Mr. Howard

Statutory references to disqualification for membership of the House of Commons are contained in the House of Commons Disqualification act 1975, the Representation of the People Act 1981, schedule 7 to the British Nationality Act 1981, the Representation of the People Act 1983 and section 427 of the Insolvency Act 1986.

An analysis of other legislation introduced by this Department since 1965 for any reference of the type requested could be provided only at disproportionate cost since information is not held centrally.
