HC Deb 23 June 2000 vol 352 c343W
Mr. Love

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what recent representations he has received concerning the introduction of compulsory voting; and if he will make a statement. [127831]

Mr. Mike O'Brien

We have recently been sent a copy of a Fabian Society pamphlet making the case for compulsory voting. In addition, we continue to receive a small number of letters both in favour of and against compulsory voting.

We have no plans to introduce compulsory voting.
