Clause 24 - Omission of reference to Maundy Thursday
Electoral Administration Bill
6:30 pm
David Heath (Shadow Secretary of State for Constitutional Affairs & Shadow Leader of the House, Law Officers (Constitutional Affairs); Somerton and Frome, Liberal Democrat)
I seek some guidance from the Ministers. The clause appears to mark an innovation in drafting because there does not appear to be any operative element to it. It simply describes what is elsewhere in the Bill. I wonder whether that is a deliberate innovation or whether the clause has some consequence of which I know nothing.
