Proceeding contribution from Wayne David (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 25 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on European Union Bill.
European Union Bill
I hear what the Minister says about an appropriate public debate and a high degree of awareness, but the clause states that the Electoral Commission"““may take whatever steps they think appropriate””." If the Minister thinks that public awareness is so important, why did he not ensure that the word ““will”” was used rather than the word ““may””?
