Proceeding contribution from Lord Wills (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 2 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Political Parties and Elections Bill.


Political Parties and Elections Bill

I will consider that point carefully. There are issues about the identifiers. My instinct at the moment is that there should be a straight yes or no. We have set in place a process that we want to deliver an end, subject to a fundamental test. I do not think that there is any disagreement in the House about the desirability of the end—full, comprehensive individual registration. I do not really detect, despite all the interventions, any disagreement that the register must be as comprehensive as possible. So far, I think that the entire House agrees that those are both immutable priorities.
