Proceeding contribution from Lord Norton of Louth (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 20 March 2007. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Representation of the People (England and Wales) and the Representation of the People (Combination of Polls) (England and Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2007.
Representation of the People (England and Wales) and the Representation of the People (Combination of Polls) (England and Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2007
I accept the point about the problems of attributing blame, but does the Minister accept that it is not as if we are legislating in a completely new area? We have rather extensive experience of legislating on electoral law and it is surprising that a mistake should be made in an area that should be relatively well trodden in drafting terms.
