Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether the implementation of the recommendations of the National Commission on electoral reform would require a referendum.

The Government will set out further details about the remit of the National Commission on Electoral Reform and about how it will carry out its work, including how people can participate, in due course. It would not be appropriate to pre-empt the outcome of the Commission's work.
