Elections Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Pannick (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 25 April 2022. It occurred during Debate on bills on Elections Bill.

I would just add, on a serious note, that the noble and learned Lord makes an absolutely correct point. If the Electoral Commission said, “We do not agree with this document and we are not going to follow it”, there would be a real danger of judicial review. There would be a real danger, in particular, because this document would have the approval of Parliament, it having been whipped through.
