Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Chloe Smith and Angela Crawley

Wednesday 19th December 2018 Commons Chamber

[Chloe Smith]

The hon. Gentleman has advanced that argument over many years in many different formats. I regret to say I am not entirely clear if I follow him this morning, but I would be very happy to have a further conversation with him if there is an important point there.

[Angela Crawley (Lanark and Hamilton East) (SNP)]

13. Why does the Minister not, instead of wasting money on voter ID pilots, spend money on giving votes to 16-year-olds?

[Mr Speaker]

I say to the hon. Member for Huddersfield (Mr Sheerman), if he is listening, that I think what the Minister was saying, in a very polite and roundabout way, is that she has not got the foggiest idea what he is on about. No doubt, with some clarifications, she will be perfectly clear on what he is talking about. I thought I knew what he was talking about.
