Electoral Administration Bill

The Bill allows for individual registration. I think that some Opposition Members are trying to have their cake and eat it. At one point, the hon. Member for Epping Forest (Mrs. Laing) said that we must be careful about pushing ahead with measures that will unravel hundreds of years of history. However, when we said that the proposal would be a departure from the practice in Great Britain and that we therefore wanted to pilot it as it was important to proceed on an evidence base, Opposition Members said that we were not going far enough.
