Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill

If we were not having a referendum and were having only local council elections in England—I shall refer to England, as that is what the hon. Gentleman's question was about—people would not get a postal vote if they had not asked for one, or if they were not registered for a permanent one. If they were registered for a postal vote for a parliamentary election, that would come automatically, but that would not in any way reduce their ability to participate in local elections, as they had not asked for a postal vote.
