Proceeding contribution from Baroness Ashton of Upholland (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 21 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Electoral Administration Bill.

Electoral Administration Bill

I am sorry if I was not as clear as I meant to be. We agree with what the noble Lord is seeking to do, but we do not need to change the Bill to do it. We want to test this out because without any changes, even those that look simple and straightforward, we need to check that nothing is going to happen that we were not expecting. I was adding that into the pilots as something that we would plan to test out, in the best sense, but we do not need to make any changes to the Bill to do so.
