Electoral Administration Bill

I am grateful to the noble Baroness for giving way. Is there not a third point here, that of the element of balance? The Bill is designed to increase participation, but we must balance that against security. Much of the debate has been about fraud in the sense of deliberate acts, but there is the much wider issue of the secrecy of the ballot and how to secure that. We have to be careful, and it may be that something has to be written into the Bill to ensure it. It is not sufficient to run pilots; something must be written in to ensure that the balance is right. As I say, I do not mention those deliberately looking to commit fraud but, whether voting is conducted electronically or on paper through the postal ballot, issues arise. The ballot box ensures secrecy; the living room does not. That is the fundamental problem that we must address.
