Absent Voting: British Nationals Abroad
The question
To ask the hon. Member for Blaenau Gwent and Rhymney, representing the House of Commons Commission, what assessment has been made of the adequacy of support provided to Hon Members in providing democratic representation to registered overseas electors, assigned to their constituency, through the duration of a Parliament.
Answered by Nick Smith
The Commission provides a range of services to Members to support them in their Parliamentary duties. It has not made a specific assessment of how these services support MPs in their representation of registered overseas electors.
It is for each individual MP to determine how best to perform their duties, including how they use services to support their representation of constituents.
