tabling member printed	Layla Moran
uin	3045
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/07/2017 answer text <p>The Government does not support the creation of parliamentary constituencies for overseas electors. The current and proposed overseas voting arrangements are based on the principle that overseas electors continue to have some form of connection to the area of the country where they were last resident. This is the approach taken generally in other democracies with overseas voting.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The creation of overseas constituencies would also require changes to the way that electoral administration (the registration of voters and the conduct of polls) is organised in Great Britain, where responsibility lies at the local authority level. It would clearly not be appropriate for the Government to carry out these functions for overseas constituencies.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore question first answered 10/07/2017 16:39:59 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore
