Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at 11:34 am on 24 May 2012.
The overwhelming majority of the British public will have been delighted with the Prime Minister’s response to the question about votes for prisoners from Mr Dodds during yesterday’s Prime Minister’s questions. Can the Leader of the House confirm that, as far as the Government are concerned, this matter is closed and that the Government will accept the verdict of this House in its vote in the previous Session and will not introduce any further legislation or proposals to give prisoners the right to vote?
