UK Parliament / Open data

Electoral Administration Bill

In Northern Ireland, it is done by computer and data matching the two sources. When I was a social security Minister years ago, the Minister suggested, in a different context, that we should data match local authority records against the national insurance computer. As far as I know, there is no reason why that should not happen. It might be complicated and the Minister might have a better answer. However, there is no electronic reason for not being able to make that comparison, as is done in Northern Ireland.
