Electoral Administration Bill

My Lords, I am grateful to the Minister for that report, but it raises one concern—the timing. We are now supposed to be having Third Reading on Tuesday next week. There is a great deal of new work to get through, perhaps the most important of which may relate to service voters, but includes a number of other aspects—this amendment raises just one—which require detailed attention. Once we are past Third Reading in your Lordships’ House there is no way that this matter can be dealt with when the Bill returns to the other place. In the circumstances, it is highly desirable that Third Reading should be deferred until after the late May/early June Recess. Is that likely to happen?
