Scrap Voter ID when Parliament returns on Monday
Commenting on today's warning from the Local Government Association not to underestimate the difficulties Voter ID will cause for local authorities, Liberal Democrat Spokesperson Helen Morgan MP said:
“Today’s warning on voter ID from the LGA shows the Conservative Government cannot bury their heads in the sand any longer. This is a national scandal that could end in a disaster for our democracy.
"The Government must urgently back my Liberal Democrat Bill which would end these regulations swiftly in the three weeks left before polling day.
“The moment Parliament returns on Monday, the Government must cancel the Voter ID measures before too many people lose their voice in this year’s local elections.”
