Proceeding contribution from Baroness Harman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 25 October 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Electoral Administration Bill.

Electoral Administration Bill

I had hoped that this Bill would not become a party political football. We should undertake a shared analysis of the problem and take into consideration the findings of both the Select Committee and the Electoral Commission, as we all have an interest in supporting democracy and tackling inequality. Everyone would like the situation to be better, but today’s debate is an opportunity for the House to determine whether the measures in the Bill, and other operational measures, can help to resolve the problem.
