Baroness Scott of Bybrook (Con)
My noble friend is absolutely right. I will go back and check even further, when I have time to do so, but I am not sure whether this is Liberal policy at all.
Lord Sahota (Lab)
My Lords, what about the non-doms—people who live in the UK but do not pay any taxes here? Do the Government carry out any verification of them, so that they do not interfere in our electoral system?
Baroness Scott of Bybrook (Con)
My Lords, if they are registered as citizens of this country, they can then vote, but if they are not, they cannot.
