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

Electoral Administration Bill

: Does the hon. Gentleman accept that the electoral registration officer for Northern Ireland put 70,000 electors back on the register in order to get the register up to the 94 per cent. figure, after it became clear that only 83 per cent. of the people on the census were registered in Northern Ireland? The electoral registration officer made that decision because there was a crisis in registration that had to be addressed.
