Electoral Administration Bill

I take the noble Lord’s point. However, he is heading into the world of those who are ex-directory as opposed to those who are vulnerable. I should be happy to discuss further with the noble Lord any proposals that he might have. I refer to the great joy of dealing with this matter in secondary legislation. The measure is designed to deal with those who would be in danger—if I can describe it as such—if their whereabouts were known. We have talked about people who are being stalked, those who are victims of domestic violence and people subject to witness protection programmes. Those are really the people we seek to protect here in an appropriate and sensitive way. If we broadened out the measure to particular classes of people, we would move out of that area. That is probably a wholly different debate. It is one that I am very happy to have, but it is not an area that we are seeking to tackle in this part of the Bill, as I think the noble Lord agrees.
