Justine Greening
That is a specific project that for some reason is not in my briefing, but I will write to the hon. Gentleman and give him an update on progress.
Sarah Newton (Truro and Falmouth) (Con)
Does my right hon. Friend agree that we must do all we can ahead of next year’s important provisional and presidential elections to support the election commission to register voters, particularly women?
Justine Greening
I very much agree with my hon. Friend. We are working in three areas: combating fraud, which we know was a feature of previous elections, registration and ensuring that women go out and vote. We are working hand in hand with the United Nations Development Programme on the latter.
