My Lords, this is a small but sensible amendment. In my experience when canvassing with names of people, one frequently finds that when one knocks on the door the people turn out to have left two or three years before, because the tendency of returning officers is, if no form is returned from a particular house, to leave people on the list on the assumption that they may have failed to return it rather than that they have moved.
