Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hanham (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 15 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Electoral Administration Bill.

Electoral Administration Bill

My Lords, I thank the Minister for that reply. As I said at the outset, I did not intend to press the amendment but wanted to hear the Minister’s response. I accept that this will be done under secondary legislation. The noble Baroness spoke about the intention for registration and said that if an anonymous registration was opposed, that person would be invited to register. That is sensible, because then the choice is theirs. They can choose whether to register or, presumably, they can make another application for anonymous registration. I am grateful to the Minister for her reply; I am satisfied with it. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendments Nos. 17 and 18 not moved.] Clause 11 [Alterations of registers: pending elections]: [Amendments Nos. 19 to 21 not moved.]
