Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Chisholm of Owlpen on 21 October (HL2113) concerning the right to vote in local elections, whether, following the departure of the UK from the EU, decisions as to who will be entitled to vote in UK local elections will be taken by Parliament, not the EU.

The Government is clear that, following our withdrawal from the EU, control of our laws will be brought back to Parliament. All options for ​our​ future relationship​ with the EU​ are being considered ahead of the negotiations​
