Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill

I am sorry, but if the noble and learned Lord looks at the wording, there is a distinction. Clause 4(1) refers to the fact that where they are on the same day they can be held together, which is plainly the point about not having to be in separate polling stations. Subsections (2), (3) and (4), as I thought the noble and learned Lord had confirmed, are drafted in different terms and are put on the basis that: "““The polls for the referendum and the Welsh Assembly general election … are to be taken together””." So there is a requirement that they must be taken together, which means that they must be on the same day.
