Proceeding contribution from Lord Caine (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 26 February 2024. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Local Elections (Northern Ireland) (Amendment) Order 2024.


Local Elections (Northern Ireland) (Amendment) Order 2024

Of course; I apologise to the noble Lord. In Northern Ireland, all electoral delivery is the responsibility of the chief electoral officer and his staff. Local authorities in Northern Ireland are not involved in that at all. I can assure the noble Lord that we are working closely with the chief electoral officer to identify the specific impact of each of these measures and that any additional resource will be kept under review in that context.
