Proceeding contribution from Lord Norton of Louth (Conservative) 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

It is indeed. The point that I am making is that the Electoral Commission ““may”” be designated—it does not have to be—but it is ideally qualified to undertake such an evaluation as well as to keep the operation of the scheme under review. As Harriet Harman noted in the other place, another body could be a CORE keeper, but I am not sure that it would have the expertise to match that of the commission in evaluating electoral processes. I have not noticed the National Audit Office develop expertise in that respect.
