My noble and learned friend the Secretary of State for Constitutional Affairs, in his speech last month on this topic, made the point that there is not a Crisis of Political Engagement in Britain as such, and that, although recent electoral turnout has fallen, other forms of participation are thriving.

We do face a Crisis of Political Engagement.

The report is right to say that we face a Crisis of Political Engagement.

We must be careful not to see e-petitions as some kind of silver bullet that will help us to solve the Crisis of Political Engagement in our country.
