Clause 4 - Electoral commission report
European Parliamentary and Local Elections (Pilots) Bill
2:30 pm
Mr Nick Hawkins (Surrey Heath, Conservative)
I am glad that, for once, one of my amendments has appealed—at least in part—to the Minister. Even though I entirely accept that the language does not exclude what I have suggested, would he accept that if our wording were added, the Bill would be clearer? It would be made specifically clear that the matter was being contemplated. Will the Minister undertake to consider with his officials the idea that amendment No. 6 might add clarity, perhaps with a view to tabling a Government amendment on Report?
