Sir Michael McNair-Wilson

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will seek to amend the law to enable one person to attest the proxy vote of more than one other person in elections.

We hope shortly to issue a consultation paper on absent voting, which will explore the various options for change, including that mentioned by my hon. Friend.
