Mr. Mullin

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, pursuant to his answer of 23 July,Official Report, column 604, on what day he wrote to the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe; and what response he has received. [11146]

Mr. Doug Henderson

We wrote on 18 July. The OSCE replied on 28 July that registration applications could not be lodged during the appeals period. Polling day arrangements for the housebound remained under consideration. But the OSCE lacked the resources required to enable the housebound to vote at home under international supervision.
