Proceeding contribution from Baroness Ashton of Upholland (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 23 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Electoral Administration Bill.

Electoral Administration Bill

I apologise—I shall read exactly what I mean. Clause 42 requires the Secretary of State to consult the Electoral Commission before making regulations under the clause. The amendment would require the Secretary of State, when consulting the commission, to have regard to its recommendations. That will happen as a matter of course.
