Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hanham (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 30 October 2006. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Representation of the People (England and Wales) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 2006.

Representation of the People (England and Wales) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 2006

To go back to the personal identifiers, I am pleased that the 20 per cent will be a minimum. It is clear that the Electoral Commission hopes that the figure will move up to 100 per cent. The briefing, which I am not sure that the Minister has seen, ends up by saying: "““We hope that the Government will commit itself to putting the necessary resources and technology in place for 100 per cent checking to be implemented across Great Britain before the next UK parliamentary general elections””." I would be remiss if I did not ask whether the Government were going to do just that.
