Dear Constituent, Thank you for contacting me about voter ID.  A secure electoral system is a vital component of a healthy democracy, and the public must have confidence that our elections are secure and fit for the 21st century.

Dear Constituent, Thank you for contacting me about the Elections Bill. I have been asked to chair the Elections Bill through its committee stage.

The House of Lords plays a central role in the legislative process of our country as a revising chamber. While they respect the democratic legitimacy of the House of Commons, their role is to add another level of scrutiny and to bring to the Government’s attention aspects of proposed legislation which may cause unexpected problems.
