Proceeding contribution from David Mundell (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 24 November 2010. It occurred during Legislative debate on Constitutional Law.


Constitutional Law

I am confident that that issue will be addressed by the electoral authorities. There are different electoral franchises, and the electoral registers make it clear who is on which franchise. I cannot guarantee that no one will be disappointed after turning up to vote in an election and finding that they are not entitled to do so, but their status and their entitlement to vote will be determined not by their confusion but by the legal position in relation to the franchise.
