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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to the Public Bill Committee for the Representation of the People Bill, Official Report, Compilation PDF of all Committee Debate sittings so far, 21 April 2026, Column 229, if he will place in the Library a copy of the Ministerial reply.

As I indicated during the Public Bill Committee debate on 24 March 2026, in response to points raised by the Hon. Member for Hamble Valley, I intend to write to him shortly with further details on issues relating to the duty for EROs to notify postal voters that their postal vote is due to expire. A copy of that correspondence will be deposited in the Libraries of both Houses as soon as it has been issued.
