European Union Referendum Bill

Proceeding contribution from Stephen Gethins (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 18 June 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on European Union Referendum Bill.

As is often the case, the hon. Lady is absolutely spot on. The facts that I have read out show that giving 16 and 17-year-olds the vote is the way to make them more politically engaged from an earlier age, and therefore more likely to vote later in life.
