Proceeding contribution from Gordon Banks (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 January 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Scotland's Constitutional Future.
Scotland's Constitutional Future
We have already heard this afternoon about the SNP's preference for 16 and 17-year-olds to be able to vote in this one-off referendum. Can the Secretary of State tell me whether there has been any impediment, over the past five years, to the SNP Government in Holyrood lowering the voting age to 16 or 17 for Scottish council elections?
