Speaker 1
Would everyone ensure that all electronic devices are turned off or switched to silent mode, please? We will continue line by line scrutiny of the representation of the people bill. The selection list for today's sitting is available in the room and on parliamentary website. This shows how the clauses, schedules, and selected amendments have been grouped together for debate. A reminder that a member who has put their name to the lead amendment in a group is called first, or in the case of a stand apart debate, the minister will be called to speak first.
Other members are then free to indicate they wish to speak in the current debate by Bobby. At the end of a debate on a group of amendments and new clauses and schedules, I should call the member who moved the lead amendment or new clause is is open. Clause The The order new of decisions is follows the order in which amendments appear in the amendment paper. I hope that explanation is helpful. We now come to Group 26 and the question that Clause 48 stand apart, with which it will be convenient to consider government amendments 14 to 17, schedule three stand part and new clause 40.
The question is that clause 48 stand part of the bill. Minister?

I'll speak first to this clause and schedule before addressing government amendments 14 to 17 and the new clause 14 tabled by the opposition. The current legislative framework for absent voting was designed for a very different elect electoral landscape.
