§ Mr. ColmanTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) what plans he has to require local authorities to send out organ donation forms with their electoral registration forms; [136037]
(2) if he will list those local authorities which send out organ donation forms with their electoral registration forms. [136834]
§ Mr. Mike O'BrienIt is the responsibility of each electoral registration officer (ERO) to decide whether to include additional literature with the electoral registration form. I have no plans to change that arrangement. The Secretary of State for Health and the Home Secretary wrote jointly to the professional associations of electoral administrators to seek their help in encouraging EROs to include organ donation literature with the electoral registration forms which were sent out this year. I have no substantive information about those EROs who have done so in the past.
