16: Clause 10, page 5, line 16, leave out “age of 18” and insert “voting age, as defined in section (1)(d) of the Representation of the People Act 1983 (parliamentary electors: voting age)”
Member’s explanatory statement
This amendment seeks to probe the reasoning for the minimum age prescribed in Clause 10, in the light of the Government’s intention to extend the franchise to 16 and 17-year-olds.
