Proceeding contribution from Lord Bach (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 13 May 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Political Parties and Elections Bill.
Political Parties and Elections Bill
I do not want to interrupt the noble Lord because I want to shorten this process, if I can, but what is on the statute book is there under the Electoral Administration Act 2006. It is a new offence relating to applications for a postal or proxy vote, in which the maximum sentence is two years’ imprisonment. That is already on the statute book, but I shall say a bit more on that in due course.
