Proceeding contribution from Baroness Ashton of Upholland (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 28 February 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Electoral Administration Bill.


Electoral Administration Bill

I am grateful to the noble Lord, as that is a very good point. My assumption is that we would try to have a whole constituency included, but the noble Lord is right that that is not as crystal clear as he would like. May I write to him about it? I will make sure that I take advice from officials about what we would do. My interpretation is that we would seek to include a whole constituency for the obvious reason that splitting it up would be hopeless in terms of development. If I am wrong about that, I will make sure that I inform the noble Lord. However, that would be the approach that I would take and it is my interpretation of the Bill. As the noble Lord has asked for clarity, I will attempt to be clear.
