Elections Bill (Instruction)

Proceeding contribution from Lloyd Russell-Moyle (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 September 2021. It occurred during Debate on bills on Elections Bill (Instruction).

The hon. Lady, my friend and neighbour, is making a very good set of points around why we need a more proportional, not less proportional, system in our voting system more broadly. Does she share my concern that Ministers have been grilled, questioned and interrogated over a number of years on the clauses in the Bill in the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Select Committee, on which I sit, and the fact that this has been brought in without PACAC being able to consider the issue beforehand with the Minister is an example of this Government undermining the Committee system as well?
