Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the Answer of 6 December 2017 to Question 116685, what plans he has to make an assessment of the potential reasons for areas reporting significant increases in registered electors.

We keep the evidence on democratic engagement under constant review. We are also exploring ways of making available more data about levels of registration to assist Electoral Registration Officers and others in maximising registration. Further detail will be set out in the Democratic Engagement Plan to be published later in December 2017.
