The Electoral Commission informs me that it’s target was to publish its report into the accuracy and completeness of electoral registers before the House rose for the summer adjournment, which it achieved. The final changes to the report were made on Monday 21 July and it was then published on Tuesday 22 July, and circulated to all MPs by e-mail.

The Commission does not produce paper versions of its reports, which are made available electronically on its website and are available for downloading, so no additional time was taken for the preparation of printed copies.
