Electoral Administration Bill
2:00 pm
David Cairns (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Scotland Office; Inverclyde, Labour)
I regret that I cannot give the hon. Gentleman the explicit confirmation that he seeks. If I can do so in writing, I will. We agree with the broad thrust of what he said and we are sending out the clearest possible signal that we will pursue anybody minded to attempt to get around the provision in any way. I shall be happy to write to the hon. Gentleman with the explicit assurance that he seeks.
Question put and agreed to.
Clause 38 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
