Electoral Administration Bill

I am grateful for those replies. On the second, about the far-reaching powers that are being given, I simply say that I hear what the Minister says, but these things have to be challenged. As far as her first comment is concerned, the Minister referred to very small-scale elections, but parish elections do not take place in a different system or world to ordinary elections; they take place in the same polling stations in the same polling districts and they are run by the same people. They are run on behalf of the parishes by the district council electoral registration officers and their staff. There is no difference between a district election in a parish and a parish election in that same parish. They take place in the same place, with the same people, in the same system. I do not understand the circumstances in which you would want to disapply that. Clearly, the Minister is going to think about it a bit more. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendment No. 90B not moved.] Clause 17 agreed to. Clause 18 agreed to. [Amendments Nos. 91 to 91B not moved.] Clause 19 [Offences as to false registration information]:
