I will resist the temptation. The point is that this is very welcome. We have updated our electoral system and machinery for running elections through the establishment of a new permanent commission. We must also make sure that the rules and legislative provisions the Electoral Commission will implement are also up-to-date and fit for purpose. This is a matter of tidying up but it is an important point. The Electoral Act should be fit for purpose. This is one way we could help to achieve this aim.
