Proceeding contribution from Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 25 October 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Governance of Britain.

Governance of Britain

My Lords, the noble and learned Lord is right to suggest that the integrity of the voting system is critical to our democracy and to the public’s confidence in our democratic institutions. I assure him that all questions in relation to that and to electoral administration are being fully considered. The noble Lord, Lord Tyler, has already referred to the review, which will be published at the end of the year. Of course, we have not yet seen the terms of reference of the Speaker’s Conference but it is entirely possible that it will wish to look at issues of electoral administration.
