Electoral Administration Bill

I have nothing to add, except to say that I completely agree with all the points made by the hon. Member for South Staffordshire. The tragic death of the candidate in South Staffordshire shone a light on a problem that, with a great deal of hard work and consultation, he has solved. Should, tragically, a candidate die in future, the Cormack clause will swing into effect and will ensure that democracy is delayed as little as possible. The House is in the hon. Gentleman’s debt. I thank him for his work and ask the House to agree to the new clauses.
