Electoral Administration Bill

Proceeding contribution from Clive Betts (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 25 October 2005. It occurred during Debate on bills on Electoral Administration Bill.
On the important issue of data sources, I welcome what my right hon. and learned Friend says about EROs being able to gain access to data from councils and, perhaps, other Government sources. Will she also consider the possibility of gaining access to other data—for example, from the Post Office, from the utilities and, in areas where housing stock has been transferred, from housing associations and arm’s length management organisations? Will she even consider requiring those organisations to provide information to EROs, as well a giving EROs the right to gain access to it?
