Proceeding contribution from Philip Dunne (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 20 October 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill.

Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill

As I was saying earlier—and as my hon. Friend will have heard—I think that there is a case for saying that some of our citizens abroad feel disengaged. However, I am not seeking to address that audience—I am seeking to point out to the Minister that the deficiency of this Bill is that it does not address the practical steps that could be taken by anybody who wants to encourage those who have the right to vote from overseas to do so.
