Debate
Representation of the People (Northern Ireland) (Amendment) Regulations 2025Contribution
We need to get these things right, and I appreciate the Minister for bringing forward legislation that can assist in any way. I understand the remit of this legislation, in that a number of people fall off the register, as we term it; they just do not reregister. I understand the reasons. As the noble Lord, Lord Rogan, indicated, many people will use it, and use the option of registering in Northern Ireland to get a vote, but also to access other services such as the National Health Service.
