division_name: Electoral Administration Bill &#8212; New Clause 1 &#8212; Registration of service personnel
motion: <p class="" pid="c.221.3/1" pwmotiontext="yes">I beg to move that the clause be read a Second time. [Hon. Members: "Hear, hear."] It is gratifying to hear such noises in the Committee; I have the sense that they may have come from more than one part of it.</p>
  
  <p class="" pid="c.221.3/2" pwmotiontext="yes">The purpose of the clause is simple to explain. It is to restore the armed services personnel scheme that used to   exist and to take the armed services back to the position they enjoyed prior to the 2000 Act. It will mean that at the next election all service personnel will be registered to vote.</p>
