Speaking in the House of Lords on 2 September 2026

Debate

Electoral Commission Investigations

Contribution

Does the Minister know that there are around half a million Muslim women, and others, who do not speak English and speak only their native language, who are therefore ignorant about their rights to vote under British law? Surely the Minister will recognise that these are the prime victims of any corruption of voting, with family voting seen as the priority. Is there any way in which the Government can consider the rights of those ladies and in some way offer special education to them at an adult age which will enable them to use their rights more effectively?
