My Lords, I see the Minister sitting firmly on the edge of her seat. So I hope that we have good news. I rise only to support my noble friend. Just out of a tweak of amusement, I look back at Clause 67 to see that an electoral officer ““may”” take steps, as the noble Lord has said, and that he ““may”” imburse a local electoral officer if he wishes, but he ““must”” have regard to any guidance of the Electoral Commission. So, the ““mays”” and the ““musts”” are quite splattered around on that one. I hope that we get another ““must”” in.
