Written Question
Electronic Voting
Monday 14th September 2015

Asked by: Mark Tami (Labour - Alyn and Deeside)

Question to the Leader of the House:

To ask the Leader of the House, what discussions he had with (a) members of the House of Commons Commission and (b) hon. Members on the use of electronic devices to record Members' votes before his oral statement of 2 July 2015 on English votes on English laws, Official Report, column 1647.

Answered by Lord Grayling

Following my appointment as Leader of the House of Commons and before my oral statement on 2 July, I discussed with the House authorities both the investigation into electronic recording of votes that been taking place since October 2014, and the trial that had been held in March 2015. The change to electronic recording of votes had been planned before the announcement of the Government's proposals for English votes for English laws.

"I accept that that was the result then. The right hon. Gentleman’s party was strongly opposed to devolution at that time, but it has had a bit of a turn of face, and is now promoting it. Indeed, a number of people who were very much against devolution have gone …..."
