Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what her planned timetable is for updating the Impact Assessment to the Representation of the People Bill following the Government’s response to the Rycroft Review.

The Government's policy is to publish Impact Assessments as soon as practicable to support effective parliamentary scrutiny and transparency. On 3 September, we introduced the Representation of the People Bill in the House of Lords, which was accompanied by an updated Impact Assessment.

Any necessary updates to the Bill's accompanying Impact Assessment will be made in the usual way.
