Lord Greenhalgh (Con)
To be honest with your Lordships, when I joined this House, I was not entirely aware of that particular provision—it is a disappointment. However, obviously that is the long-standing convention. Of course, we can still vote twice in local elections if we are lucky enough to have two homes.
Viscount Stansgate (Lab)
My Lords, in view of the point made about two separate addresses, can the Minister tell the House whether the Prime Minister is registered to vote at Chequers?
Lord Greenhalgh (Con)
Unsurprisingly, I do not know the answer to that, but I am sure that he is able to vote because that is one of his current properties.
