Clause 6 - Combination of polls
Regional Assemblies (Preparations) Bill

Mr Matthew Green (Ludlow, Liberal Democrat)
I thank my hon. Friend for that perceptive comment.
It will be dangerous if we start writing into law various exclusions to prevent certain types of election happening on the same day. If we ever get to the stage of electing people to the other place, there may be reason to exclude that election from taking place on the same day as a general election. However, that is the only possible example that springs to mind.
