Proceeding contribution from Chris Ruane (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 13 June 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Electoral Administration Bill.
Electoral Administration Bill
Incentives are welcome but as well as a carrot, we need a stick to beat local authorities that refuse to obey legislation that the House has endorsed. I oppose Lords amendment No. 8. The Bill is long overdue and will result in getting a good proportion of those 4.5 million citizens back on the electoral register and participating fully in democratic life in this country.
