European Union (Referendum) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lyn Brown (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 29 November 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on European Union (Referendum) Bill.

I find myself in the unique position of disagreeing with my hon. Friend on his amendment. I jib at the idea of forcing people to vote. Has he thought of any other mechanisms that might increase the vote, without being so prescriptive—electronic voting, for instance? Would that not achieve what he intends, which is to increase the number of people participating in this election?
