Electoral Administration Bill

That is right. Mr. Hirst, who took the case to the European Court of Human Rights, is a constituent of mine. Would the hon. Lady look favourably on the idea that, when passing sentence at the end of a court case, a judge might rule that someone’s right to vote should be removed? That could be an alternative to the blanket provision of removing the right to vote from all prisoners.
