Will the Acting Leader organise a debate on the register of electors, which was referred to earlier? I am mindful of the extremely good work done by local authorities, using enumerators such as those used in the census, to complete a thorough investigation of the register. Many people missing from the register for the last local elections will be added. However, a danger exists that many people who should not be on the register will remain on it. People studying or working away from home may be included on more than one register. Voting machines may provide the answer, as if we had electronic voting people could not vote more than once. This could be included in a debate on the register of electors.
