Electoral Administration Bill

Proceeding contribution from Diana Johnson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 January 2006. It occurred during Debate on bills on Electoral Administration Bill 2005-06.
That is right. Mr. Hirst, who took the case to the European Court of Human Rights, is a constituent of mine. Would the hon. Lady look favourably on the idea that, when passing sentence at the end of a court case, a judge might rule that someone’s right to vote should be removed? That could be an alternative to the blanket provision of removing the right to vote from all prisoners.
