Alliance — Lagan Valley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 2 March 2026

Debate

Representation of the People Bill

Contribution

I support the Bill, but can we please ensure that the Electoral Commission and the Electoral Office for Northern Ireland are funded, as are other statutory agencies? Not all these potential offences will be civil; some will meet the criminal threshold. We need to ensure that the statutory agencies responsible for capturing criminal evidence are funded to do so.
