Dr. Evan Harris: To ask the right hon. Member for Berwick-upon-Tweed, representing the Speaker's Committee on the Electoral
Commission what work the Electoral Commission is undertaking to develop policy on the consistency of the rules governing the
Boundary Commission with particular regard to the question of parity of size for parliamentary constituencies. [96548]

Elections and Referendums Act 2000 provides for the functions of the Boundary Commissions to be transferred to the Electoral
Commission, but these provisions have not yet been implemented.

Kevin Brennan: To ask the right hon. Member for Berwick-upon-Tweed, representing the Speaker's Committee on the Electoral Commission
what discussions he has had with the Electoral Commission on more active promotion of postal voting. [81535]
Mr. Beith: The Electoral Commission is actively engaged in work to raise public awareness of the availability of postal voting.
A key element of this programme is dedicated activity to promote postal voting across Great Britain in the spring of each year in
which there are public elections. In support of this, the Commission will be producing new leaflets about postal voting by December
this year, which will be distributed to Electoral Registration Officers and displayed in post offices across Great Britain prior to
the elections planned for next spring.
Information about postal voting is also available from the Commission's website and the Commission published good practice advice to
local authorities on local promotion of postal voting and other issues in its October 2002 report "Making an impact".
