Wales Bill

Proceeding contribution from Madeleine Moon (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 September 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Wales Bill.

I want to be clear on the separation of the franchises for PCC elections and for local government elections. Does the Secretary of State have concerns—they have perhaps not been expressed—that 16 or 17-year-olds are seen as fit and

able citizens to vote in elections that deal with social services, planning and education, but that they are seen as not capable of voting in elections for police and crime commissioners? Is that what he is trying to suggest, because I would find that very worrying?
