Proceeding contribution from Baroness Crawley (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 2 November 2009. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Electoral Law Act (Northern Ireland) 1962 (Amendment) Order 2009.


Electoral Law Act (Northern Ireland) 1962 (Amendment) Order 2009

Well, it depends. As they say, it is a matter of size—you can sometimes get a lot of information on BlackBerrys—but I take the noble Lord’s point. The DEAC must still publish a notice saying where those recommendations may be inspected. However, as I have said, the specific concerns that have been raised today will be passed on. I have probably covered most points. The noble Lord, Lord Lyell, spoke about advertising and raising public awareness of elections. I repeat that that is a matter for the Electoral Commission, to which we shall happily relay his views—as well as his great experience from 1984, when he stood here.
