The Parliamentary Secretary, Cabinet Office (Chris Skidmore)
As I stated in an earlier answer, I met Baroness Royall to discuss her amendment. I am committed to ensuring that more students are able to register easily, which will save money for electoral registration officers. I am working on looking at this process. The Cabinet Office funded the pilot in Sheffield in the first place, and we are determined to ensure that we carry on this work.

As a result of that work, we had the benefit of savings of £733 million for 2015-16.
