Proceeding contribution from Oliver Heald (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 13 June 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Electoral Administration Bill.

Electoral Administration Bill

If the hon. Lady went to Northern Ireland and talked the matter through with its electoral registration officer, she would find that, as she says, there was a dip. However, as a result of active canvassing, within a matter of months, 92 per cent. of those on the census were registered to vote in Northern Ireland, which was described by the Northern Ireland Office at the time as an outstanding success. How can she try to wriggle out of what is the obvious solution?
