EU Referendum: Voter Registration

Debate between Baroness Chisholm of Owlpen and Baroness Royall of Blaisdon

Thursday 12th May 2016 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Chisholm of Owlpen]

I am afraid that I will have to write to my noble friend.

[Baroness Royall of Blaisdon (Lab)]

My Lords, much mention has been made of universities, and it is absolutely right that they have a key role to play. I am Pro-Chancellor of the University of Bath and I have ensured that the administration of Bath University and the students’ union are working together on this. I urge all noble Lords who have anything to do with universities to do likewise.

[Baroness Chisholm of Owlpen]

That is an extremely good idea. We are writing to all universities to encourage them to engage with their students to advise them on how to register to vote before the EU referendum.
