Individual Voter Registration

Proceeding contribution from Karen Buck (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 16 January 2012. It occurred during Opposition day on Individual Voter Registration.
The issue here is the correlation between the likelihood of a person's registering on the electoral register and their being in the private rented sector, is it not? The rapid growth of private rented accommodation places people at the highest risk of not having the information necessary to be on the register. Would my right hon. Friend support discussion with the Government about how resources could be directed particularly towards the local authorities with the largest private rented sectors to help to target that problem?
