Electoral Administration Bill

I accept the noble Baroness’s point. However, there is an underlying difference of philosophy between us, as she rightly inferred. That will be apparent in some of the points that I shall come to. One philosophy states that someone should be listed in the register unless there are very compelling reasons why that should not be the case. However, I lean towards a very different philosophy and take a very different view. As I say, that may come up in later amendments. My view stems from a very different philosophy but I shall be happy to discuss it later. I completely take the noble Baroness’s point about secondary legislation—I am not looking for a specific response or anything in the Bill—in this regard.
