Trade Union Bill

Proceeding contribution from Nick Boles (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 27 April 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Trade Union Bill.

I do not want to take up time because lots of Members want to speak, but may I draw the hon. Gentleman’s attention to elections conducted in the Philippines? Interestingly, a company called Smartmatic—chaired by a former Labour Minister, his colleague Lord Malloch-Brown—was put in charge of conducting online voting for the entire population of the Philippines. There was a hack, in which the identity data of 70 million people were stolen, and a report said that every registered voter’s data were open to abuse.
