We have a Registration Crisis, especially in London, although the problem exists all over the country.

The Crisis in Registration must be a priority, especially for the Bill.

In the debate many of us have acknowledged a Crisis in Registration.

Today, as we did on Second Reading, we have debated the Crisis in Registration - that about 3 million to 4 million citizens are not included on our electoral registers.

In the Second Reading debate on the Electoral Administration Bill last October, hon. Members acknowledged that there was a Crisis in Registration.

So as with the Crisis in Registration, static or falling turnout and low levels of political engagement, the time must be right to re-examine restrictions on the governance of, and staff employment in, the Electoral Commission, so that it does not continue to be politically naive by design.
