I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman. The last date to register is 16 April. He is right to ask about the commission's campaign to encourage registration. A significant advertising campaign will be launched after Easter on television and radio, in the outdoor press and online, supported by coverage in the local media. It would help to have a larger number registered, and the Electoral Commission believes that individual registration would encourage that.
