Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government on what date they expect to be able to invite (1) local authorities, and (2) national organisations, to apply for (a) funding to boost voter registration, and (b) funding for wider voter registration activities.

I refer the noble peer to the answer I gave on 20 January, Official Report, Column WA299.

The Government will outline further detail about the use of the funding in due course.
