Proceeding contribution from Kevin Bonavia (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 2 March 2026. It occurred during Debate on bill on Representation of the People Bill.


Representation of the People Bill

The shadow Secretary of State has asked, on a number of occasions, whether we agree with his so-called legal definition. The legal definition is always for the purposes of the law for which it is intended, so the Children Act definition is for the purposes of that Act, and what we are debating today is for the purposes of voting.
