Proceeding contribution from Tessa Munt (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 26 April 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Funeral Payments.
Funeral Payments
If local authorities are to be involved, might it be suggested that the electoral register should be altered automatically? On Saturday I knocked on a door and found someone who had lost her husband three or four months earlier. She was still receiving letters addressed to her husband, because she had completely forgotten to let the district council know that he had passed away. Altering the register automatically would save a great deal of distress to people like that lady.
