Electoral Administration Bill

I am grateful to the noble Lord. To pick up his earlier point briefly, we debated the fact that, neither of us having legal training, what looks to us like odd language is—I am assured, having taken it back—the correct legal language. It is not so much what the Bill says, because that needs to be legally watertight, but I agree with the noble Lord that it is important that when we talk to people outside, we make it as clear as possible. We must think carefully about that, for the reasons the noble Lord has rightly mentioned. There is no change in CORE about who can access information. Things that would not be available to anybody else will still not be available to anybody else. The critical thing is that what we collect in one pot is available to the people that the 400-plus pots are available to, and no additional people. That should reassure the noble Lord.
