Proceeding contribution from Baroness Harman (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 do not think that new clause 5 exactly repeats the current law, as it does not employ the same statutory language. I would not want to replace the existing provisions with a hand-drafted proposal that is less precise.
