Proceeding contribution from Baroness Laing of Elderslie (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 23 May 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Electoral Registration and Administration Bill.

Electoral Registration and Administration Bill

I am thinking about the figure of 9 million that the right hon. Gentleman gave. Is it not the case that at present, those 9 million people, if there are 9 million—I think there are 3 million—have to go through their “head of household”, whatever that might mean, to register to vote? When the Bill becomes law, they will be able to register individually in their own right, which will give them a power that they do not have at the moment.
