Proceeding contribution from Nick Clegg (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 July 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Political and Constitutional Reform.

Political and Constitutional Reform

As it happens, the hon. Gentleman is wrong on a point of fact. The Gould report said very clearly that there was merit in votes coinciding on the same day, but said equally clearly that the way in which the ballot papers were designed in the 2007 election caused enormous confusion to voters. I do not believe that that dilemma will arise for people in this referendum, given the simplicity of the choice and the simplicity of the question.
