Katie Lam

Conservative — Weald of Kent

Speaking in the House of Commons on 2 September 2026

Debate

Representation of the People Bill

Contribution

The fact that English takes words from other languages does not mean that an English voter, or indeed any British voter, would be able to read election material in Latin. The point is that our voters must be able to understand the election literature that is being produced, and if it is not produced in a language of the British Isles, they cannot.
