Mr Lidington
I am deeply shocked that the hon. Lady has so little confidence in her own colleagues as to think that they would be capable of that.
Nigel Huddleston (Mid Worcestershire) (Con)
Some of my most engaged constituents are expats who currently reside in France or Spain. Does the Minister agree that it is unfair and undemocratic to deny these British citizens the right to vote after an arbitrary 15 years?
Chloe Smith
Yes, I do, which is why we support the private Member’s Bill promoted by my hon. Friend the Member for Montgomeryshire (Glyn Davies), which will redress that injustice and deliver votes for life.
