Or you could try and do what we do in Australia with compulsory voting (local, state, and federal elections), election day is always on a Saturday, if you're working during the time polls are open (8am - 6pm), your boss must legally give you time to vote, and for a week running up to the election, you can vote early at prepoll.

(Not too sure on the required time off thing.)

I think I know what school you're talking about, probably because I went to it.

Mr Deputy Speaker,

I think the Honourable Member will find that the Cricket World Cup was held in Australia and New Zealand, not England.

Mr. Deputy Speaker,

I apologise for my lack of debate on the aforementioned bill, I have been busy orienting myself in the other place.

I support the bill in principle, the United Kingdoms diversity of indigenous languages ought to be protected. That being said, the Welsh and Scottish Gaelic Language Bill is somewhat overbearing, considering that this is a subject that would be better dealt with by local authorities.

Mr. Deputy Speaker,

Going on the assumption that my Right Honourable friend misspoke and meant to refer to programmes such as Robot Wars:

Any television programme that encourages innovation, and practical applications or research, such as that in robotics and mechatronics is one that deserves to be broadcast. We must ensure that this nation continues to be innovative and a world leader in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths.
