Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he will make an assessment of the implications for his policies of the findings of the report, Turned Out 2017, published by the RNIB on problems experienced by blind and partially sighted voters at the 2017 General Election; and if he will implement that report's recommendations before local authority elections take place in 2018.

I welcome the report by the RNIB on the experiences of blind and partially sighted people
at the 2017 General Election. The Government will consider these recommendations as
part of our current Call for Evidence on the experience of disabled people in registering to
vote and voting and will look at the evidence as a whole in planning how to take forward
any changes.
