	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2017 answer text <p>The UK’s electoral registers are maintained by individual Electoral Registration Officers appointed by each local authority in Great Britain and by the Chief Electoral Officer in Northern Ireland. This means that it would not be feasible to identify duplicate entries between registers without considerable additional financial and operational resources. Providing a mechanism for EROs to compare information about electoral register entries more automatically across all 381 registers could help to further improve the accuracy and completeness of electoral registers and could also help to address the risk of voting more than once at a relevant election.</p><p>It is an offence under Section 61(2)(a) of the Representation of the People Act 1983, for an elector to cast more than one vote on their own behalf in a UK Parliamentary general election or at a referendum. This offence carries a fine which is unlimited in England and Wales, or a fine not exceeding £5,000 in Scotland.</p><p>Investigations into possible criminal offenses are a matter for the relevant police forces. The Electoral Commission has provided advice and guidance to UK police forces about how to investigate allegations that an individual may have voted twice, including obtaining from the relevant Returning Officers the marked copy of the register.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Houghton and Sunderland South answering member printed Bridget Phillipson question first answered 17/07/2017 16:01:57 answering member 4046 label Biography information for Bridget Phillipson

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/04/2017 answer text <p>The legal requirements around the television licence are set out in the Communications Act 2003 and the Communications (Television Licensing) Regulations 2004/692. That Act provides that a television licence is needed to &quot;operate equipment capable of receiving a television programme service&quot;. This does not cover on demand services. However, whether live services that www.parliamentlive.tv provide qualify as a television programme service is a question of interpreting the Act and ultimately one for the courts to make.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matt Hancock question first answered 21/04/2017 09:20:48 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock
