Question

To ask the hon. Member for South West Devon, representing the Speaker's Committee on the Electoral Commission, whether the local authorities which did not take sufficient action to conduct a household canvass in 2014 did not take sufficient action to conduct a household canvass in a previous year.

The Electoral Commission is not aware of any local authority that did not take all necessary steps as set out in law – including making personal visits to non-responding properties – in relation to the 2014 individual electoral registration write-out and canvass.
