PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
POSTAL VOTES FOR PENSIONERS (1 September 1998)
Motion Details
That this House welcomes the modernising agenda put forward by the Government regarding local government and improving local democracy; recognises the need to make it easier for people to vote through new ideas; urges the Government to introduce the right to a postal vote for every pensioner who requests one on reaching retirement age; and suggests that this could be achieved more effectively with an application form attached to every pension allowance book.
