Ballot Secrecy Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Lord Hayward (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Friday, 15 July 2022. It occurred during Debate on bills on Ballot Secrecy Bill [HL].

That is the important matter. This has been regarded as a one-borough problem and there have been problems in Tower Hamlets during elections—I am not going to be drawn down that path at this stage—but I am trying to deal here with one specific, nationwide problem.

This appears to have the support of all sides of the House. I note the comments from the noble Viscount, Lord Stansgate, on clarity, and I particularly welcome my noble friend the Minister’s response that he wants to continue to engage and review the position as this Bill progresses. I commend the Bill to the House.
