answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/05/2019 answer text <p>The Electoral Commission has a statutory responsibility to promote awareness of elections, including public awareness campaigns on voter registration. Electoral Registration Officers have a statutory duty to ensure that people who are eligible to vote in relevant elections have the opportunity to do so. For both this includes the European Parliamentary elections.</p><p><br>The Cabinet Office report, Respecting, Protecting and Promoting our Democracy, sets out the recent steps that Government has taken to modernise voter registration. For example, the introduction of online applications; changes to the anonymous registration process; and co- production of Mencap Easy-Read guides have made the system more accessible and built on record levels of voter registration. On voter turnout, this remains a matter for political parties.</p> answering member constituency Torbay answering member printed Kevin Foster question first answered 02/05/2019 14:57:52 answering member 4451 label Biography information for Kevin Foster

This programme will take a place-based approach to relocating roles that ensures we have the skills and capacity in the right places to enable organisations and cities to flourish.</p><p> </p><p>Where roles are demonstrated to require a London presence, often there is no need for a central London location. Therefore, we have committed to three Hubs in outer London – Croydon, Stratford and Canary Wharf – to provide great places to work for these Civil Servants. Potential outer London locations are not limited to these hubs, though no further decisions have been made at this stage.</p> answering member constituency Hertsmere answering member printed Oliver Dowden question first answered 01/05/2019 17:08:50 answering member 4441 label Biography information for Oliver Dowden
