Proceeding contribution from Baroness McIntosh of Pickering (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 June 2010. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Constitution and Home Affairs.


Constitution and Home Affairs

I am delighted to be returned to represent the new constituency of Thirsk and Malton, and I am grateful to the right hon. Gentleman for his comments. He referred to the new electoral system for the European Parliament. Does he accept that, in each European election since the new election procedures were introduced, turnout has dramatically reduced. What would he have proposed had he remained in government to increase the turnout for those elections?
