Proceeding contribution from Chris Ruane (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 echo those thoughts. The status of electoral registration officers should be recognised. Their pay and training should be increased because they are doing a great job in difficult circumstances. They take the blame for inefficiency and under-registration, yet that is often the fault of the local authority for not assigning enough finance in the first place.
