Northern Ireland (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill
If the chief electoral officer believed that such a canvass were essential, could the Secretary of State overrule him and say, ““No, we will not have a canvass””? Surely the Secretary of State should not be able to overrule a firm recommendation from the chief electoral officer that a canvass were necessary to maintain the integrity of the register.
