Motion in the names of Chris Grayling and Dr Therese Coffey relating to the Electoral Commission

Melanie Onn Excerpts

Monday 26th October 2015 General Committees

[Melanie Onn (Great Grimsby) (Lab)]

I will make some brief comments. The Labour party endorses, with full support, the reappointment of Anna Carragher as electoral commissioner with special responsibility for Northern Ireland. I further acknowledge the support from party leaders across the spectrum, including the Democratic Unionist party, the Ulster Unionist party, the Liberal Democrats, the Labour and Co-operative party, the Scottish National party and the Conservative party.

Question put and agreed to.
