Proceeding contribution from Simon Hoare (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 31 January 2024. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Political Parties, Elections and Referendums.
Political Parties, Elections and Referendums
I heard the hon. Lady very clearly say that in principle she was opposed to overseas voters. If I misheard her, then I apologise, but that was certainly the thrust of the remarks she made.
The hon. Member for Luton South (Rachel Hopkins) describes the statement as a political agenda. Is improving disabled access having a political agenda? If so, or if that is the charge, I am going to plead guilty. Is cracking down on electoral fraud? If that is the charge, clap me in irons. Is ensuring that the rules of registration and the importance of voter ID are promoted? If so, take me off to the Tower. I plead guilty as charged.
