Electoral Administration Bill

We desire always to have secondary legislation on these issues because it enables us to be flexible. It may be that there will be alterations or changes and that as we continue to have discussions with political parties we would want to add to this, or amend it. It is easier—particularly when you get agreement—to do that through secondary legislation. That is the simple reason why, in areas such as this, it is important to be able to achieve that. But I hope that, since I have put it on record that we intend to do it, the noble Lord will feel at least partly reassured that we are seeking to achieve what he wishes.
