The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if she will make an assessment of the potential impact of the introduction of voter ID on specific migrant communities.

Answered by Rushanara Ali

As our manifesto made clear, the government will address the inconsistencies in the voter identification policy so that all legitimate electors are able to vote. We are continuing to assess and review the policy and if any further changes are found to be necessary or appropriate, we will bring forward proposals for them in due course.
