A good example of my hon. Friend's point is that, when people change their address, they almost always notify their employer, but nearly always forget to tell their trade union. In these days of postal ballots, how on earth is the union to get the ballot papers to the members if they do not register their addresses? With the best will in the world, the employer knows the employees' addresses far better than the union, even if the union knows the names of the members, which it does.
