Representation of the People (England and Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2006

My Lords, I thank the Minister for his introduction. I notice that these are regulations under the 2001 Act, but they are remarkably similar to clauses in the Electoral Administration Bill. Are we amending the Electoral Administration Bill, which we have not yet considered, or are we dealing with regulations under the 2001 Act, which is what is said? It would be extraordinary to be considering something here that we are going to be dealing with in the Electoral Administration Bill later on. I wonder whether, if we agree to the regulations, those clauses will then be removed from the Bill.
