Oral Answers to Questions

Julie Minns Excerpts

Wednesday 5th February 2025 Commons Chamber

[Bridget Phillipson]

The hon. Lady raises an important issue. We need to ensure there is diversity in representation at all levels in sport. I am happy to look further into the issues she has raised.

[Ms Julie Minns (Carlisle) (Lab)]

T7. Too many disabled people reported being unable to vote at last year’s general election. Will the Minister ensure that electoral administrators are reminded of their obligations under equality law to ensure that disabled people can exercise their right to vote independently and in secret?

[Bridget Phillipson]

I agree with my hon. Friend about the importance of the issue she identifies. I will ensure that the relevant Minister picks up on the point and ensures that electoral administrators are aware of their responsibilities.
