Individual Voter Registration

Proceeding contribution from Nia Griffith (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 16 January 2012. It occurred during Opposition day on Individual Voter Registration.
I implore the Minister to look again at this. Clearly, if failing to send back the annual survey is to incur a penalty, it seems illogical not to insist that failing to send back the individual form should also incur a penalty. As my hon. Friend the Member for Vale of Clwyd (Chris Ruane) said, some sort of fine that is clearly expressed to people, rather than hidden away in the small print, is a tremendous incentive to return the form. The absence of a penalty seems like a missed opportunity.
