Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Michelle Donelan and Chloe Smith

Wednesday 28th March 2018 Commons Chamber

[Chloe Smith]

The hon. Gentleman is unaware that the number of people on his own constituency’s electoral register rose, according to Office for National Statistics figures released last week.

[Michelle Donelan (Chippenham) (Con)]

What conversations has the Minister had with charities and health workers about raising awareness of changes to anonymous voter registration for victims of domestic abuse?

[Chloe Smith]

I really welcome this question, as it gives us an opportunity to remind health workers and the professionals throughout our constituencies who can now help with this. For example, the Royal College of Midwives, with Government support, recently released such guidance.
