To ask the Minister of State, Department for Constitutional Affairs how many international election monitors were present (a) in polling stations and (b) at counts during the 2005 General Election.

We are aware that a number of international observers, including a delegation from the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe, were present during the 2005 General Election campaign.
