The Government does not intend to trial e-Voting for parish or town council elections. As I outlined to the Rt. Hon. Member for Easington in my previous answer to which he refers: the use of e-Voting raises a number of issues which would need to be considered carefully.<\/p>

At present, there are concerns felt by many, that e-Voting may not be suitably rigorous and secure, and could be vulnerable to attack or fraud. To provide a system over which there are doubts, for any type of statutory election, would undermine the value of the votes cast in those polls.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4021", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Chris Skidmore"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Kingswood"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Chris Skidmore"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-11-27", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-11-27T14:27:17.953Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "53"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Cabinet Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Cabinet Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-10-30", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Electronic Voting"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the Answer of 18 October 2017 to Question 9559, on electronic voting, whether he will trial electronic voting for parish or town council elections.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3973", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Grahame Morris"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Easington"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Grahame Morris"} ], "uin" : "110446"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/780381", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Cabinet Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/780381/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Government has no intention of mandating postal votes for local and parish council elections. It is the Government\u2019s position that electors should have the choice between voting in person, by proxy or through a postal vote.<\/p>

<\/strong><\/p>

Furthermore, mandating postal voting in any poll would require all electors to provide \u2018postal vote identifiers\u2019 (e.g. signature and date of birth as are used now) to support voters securely casting a postal ballot. The Government is concerned that this would suppress turnout, and that mandating postal voting for a particular type of poll would ultimately prejudice some electors by making it harder for them to vote.<\/p>

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) have brought together their High Net Worth Unit and Affluent teams to form a single Wealthy team. This organisational change will ensure that HMRC deploy their specialist, highly skilled resource on those wealthy individuals that present the highest compliance risk.<\/p>

<\/p>

As at 31 March 2017, the team had approximately 1040 full time equivalent staff engaged in customer compliance activity. Their roles focus on promoting tax compliance and tackling non-compliance amongst the wealthy population, including, where evidence is found, investigating potential tax evasion.
