Proceeding contribution from Chris Ruane (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 January 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Electoral Administration Bill 2005-06.
Electoral Administration Bill
I have made constructive proposals. In Committee, I gave specific examples of funding by the 22 local authorities in Wales and produced a league table of those that funded well and those that did not. Of the 11 in the lower half of the table, seven had poor registration rates. Funding is a key point. It needs to be increased and monitored carefully. If a county council does not put proper funding in place, its registration should be hived off to a neighbouring county council with a better success rate.
