I move:

That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to establish the office of electoral registration commissioner, to define the functions and set out the duties of that office in relation to the supervision of the performance by registration authorities of their duties in the preparation and publication of electoral registers, to provide for access by registration authorities to information relating to persons resident within their registration areas, to make provision for the use of personal public service numbers in connection with the registration of electors and with establishing the identity of persons applying for ballot papers at elections, and to provide for related matters.

As this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
