HC Deb 18 January 1999 vol 323 c325W
15. Mr. Barnes

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what proposals he has to improve electoral registration levels among homeless people; and if he will make a statement. [64361]

Mr. George Howarth

The residence requirement which makes it difficult for homeless people to register is about to be reviewed by the Working Party on Electoral Procedures which I chair. The Working Party will be able to make detailed recommendations when it presents its final report to my right hon. Friend the Home Secretary later this year.
