Proceeding contribution from Alun Michael (Labour) 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

Does the right hon. Gentleman accept that the basic democratic right is the right to vote and that nobody can exercise that right without being registered to vote? Therefore, dealing with the 3.5 million or so individuals who are not registered to vote is not just something that comes after the sort of changes that he is seeking—it needs to be dealt with as a matter of urgency.
