Elections Bill

Proceeding contribution from Dan Poulter (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 17 January 2022. It occurred during Debate on bills on Elections Bill.

As the right hon. Gentleman knows, I am sympathetic to electoral reform. He makes the point about being privileged to represent his constituency, as indeed I am and all of us in this House are. I wonder whether he can reassure me on one concern. I would like to support his new clause this evening, but it breaks the constituency link, or at least an element of local representation, as part of a more proportional system. Can he reassure me that if I were to vote for his new clause this evening, some level of local representation would be maintained?
