Debate between Stephen Pound and Nick Smith

Wednesday 8th February 2017 Commons Chamber

[Nick Smith (Blaenau Gwent) (Lab)]

12. The Government’s talk of voter fraud is a smokescreen for voter suppression.

[Stephen Pound (Ealing North) (Lab)]

Just as in America.

[Nick Smith]

Yes. They are putting obstacles between people and the polling booth instead of working to boost our democracy. If voter fraud is such a problem, will the Minister tell the House how many voter fraud convictions there were last year?
