Proceeding contribution from Philip Dunne (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 October 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Political Parties and Elections Bill.
Political Parties and Elections Bill
On the subject of voter registration, is not another enormous and disappointing absence from the Bill any mention of steps that should be taken to improve voter registration by expatriate Britons living abroad? Some 2.5 million are eligible to vote, yet we have one of the lowest expatriate participation rates of any country in the industrialised world. Why is there not a single mention of the matter in the Bill?
