Electoral Administration Bill

The hon. Gentleman referred to Northern Ireland statistics. Let me repeat that when the changes were introduced there, the electoral register went down to either 84 or 86 per cent., even after the advertising and the political campaign. According to Sam Younger in a letter of last week, it is still only at 91 per cent. Does the hon. Gentleman believe that 91 per cent.—effectively 10 per cent. of people disenfranchised—is good enough?
