New Clause 1
Political Parties and Elections Bill
6:45 pm
Jonathan Djanogly (Shadow Minister, Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform; Huntingdon, Conservative)
To put the Minister right, one reason that the Government have previously given for not pursuing individual voter registration was the problem of overseas voters. New clause 2 is an attempt to address that problem. It is meant not to encourage overseas voters, but to get around the problem that his Department raised a few months ago.
