	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/07/2017 answer text <p>The G markings placed against EU citizens on the electoral register denotes their eligibility to vote at local and Assembly elections. The K marking denotes an EU citizen who has confirmed that they intend to vote in Northern Ireland, rather than their home state, at a specific European Parliamentary election. The K designation only lasts for one year and consequently there are currently no individuals with a K marking on the Northern Ireland register.</p><p> </p><p>UK, Irish and Commonwealth citizens are eligible to register to vote in UK General Parliamentary Elections. Citizens of EU countries other than the UK, Ireland, Cyprus and Malta (the latter of which are Commonwealth as well as EU countries) cannot vote in UK General Parliamentary Elections, although they can register to vote at local government, and Northern Ireland Assembly elections.</p><p> </p><p>The number of EU nationals, other than Irish, Cypriot, Maltese and UK citizens, on the electoral register are shown below.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Constituency</strong></p></td><td><p>EU nationals on the electoral register (other than Irish, Cypriot, Maltese and UK citizens)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Belfast East</strong></p></td><td><p>1943</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Belfast North</strong></p></td><td><p>1617</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Belfast South</strong></p></td><td><p>2857</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Belfast West</strong></p></td><td><p>462</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>East Antrim</strong></p></td><td><p>597</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>East Londonderry</strong></p></td><td><p>1044</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Fermanagh &amp; South Tyrone</strong></p></td><td><p>3801</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Foyle</strong></p></td><td><p>636</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Lagan Valley</strong></p></td><td><p>1330</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Mid Ulster</strong></p></td><td><p>1919</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Newry &amp; Armagh</strong></p></td><td><p>3017</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>North Antrim</strong></p></td><td><p>1928</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>North Down</strong></p></td><td><p>708</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>South Antrim</strong></p></td><td><p>1233</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>South Down</strong></p></td><td><p>1165</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Strangford</strong></p></td><td><p>591</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Upper Bann</strong></p></td><td><p>4563</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>West Tyrone</strong></p></td><td><p>1114</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Total</strong></p></td><td><p>30,525</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 21/07/2017 11:00:05 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth

	question text	Her Majesty's Government how many of the proxy votes granted in Northern Ireland in the 2017 general election were applied for by (1) someone who was a close relative of the elector, and (2) a non–relative; how a close relative is defined for the purposes of the proxy vote system; and whether the Electoral Office of Northern Ireland has a computer system able to record and statistically analyse that data.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/07/2017 answer text <p>Proxy votes must be applied for by the individual themselves; it is not possible for any other person to apply on their behalf. Under the provisions of the Representation of the People Act 1985, a person is not entitled to vote as proxy at the same parliamentary election in any constituency on behalf of more than two electors for whom that person is not the spouse or civil partner, parent, grandparent, brother, sister, child or grandchild. The Electoral Office for Northern Ireland does not keep a record of the relationships between the registered voter and their successfully appointed proxy.</p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 21/07/2017 10:58:15 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/11/2014 answer text <p>The security of all UK citizens remains this Government’s highest priority. While the threat level in Northern Ireland remains at Severe, excellent co-operation between PSNI and its partners has put violent dissident republicans under strain in recent months. There have been a number of significant arrests, charges and convictions which are helping to suppress the threat.</p><p>This Government has provided additional security funding to the PSNI totalling £231million between 2011 and 2016 in order to support them in tackling this threat.</p><p>The funding the PSNI received from the NI block grant through the Department of Justice also plays an important role in national security work. The Chief Constable has indicated that recent reductions in PSNI funding by the Executive will have an impact on countering the threat from terrorism in NI. I have asked for a full assessment of what that impact is going to be.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Chipping Barnet answering member printed Mrs Theresa Villiers question first answered 10/11/2014 11:39:16 answering member 1500 label Biography information for Theresa Villiers
