To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what her Department's timetable is for the publication of a White Paper on Elections and Democracy; and whether she plans to consult with political parties before it is published.

We will be setting out the Government’s approach to elections and electoral reform for this Parliament in a published document before summer recess. This will include our approach to the delivery of our manifesto commitments and the outcomes of our review of electoral registration and conduct, in which we are consulting with various sector stakeholders.
