To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the judgment of the European Court of Justice in <i>Delvigne v Commune de Lesparre-Médoc </i>(Case C-650/13); and whether any changes to legislation or government policies are required as a result of that judgment.

The UK's ban on prisoner voting stays in place and as we have consistently stated, remains a matter for Parliament to determine.
