Question

To ask the hon. Member for South West Devon, representing the Speaker's Committee on the Electoral Commission, pursuant to the Answer of 9 December 2014 to Question 216723, which local electoral registration officers in England and Wales will not publish registers until after 1 December 2015.

As part of the data collection activity for the Electoral Commission’s recent report on individual electoral registration 20 EROs said they were delaying publication of their 1 December 2014 registers. However, this may not be the total number as others may have delayed publication without informing the Commission (which they were not required to).
