Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Campbell-Savours (Labour). It was answered on Tuesday, 19 January 2010.


General Election: Electoral Malpractice

Question
When my noble friend says "when it is appropriate to do so", does he mean that certain seats will then be targeted for that level of checking?
Answer

No, I do not believe that that is what I meant. I am attempting to say that although 100 per cent of return postal votes ought to be checked, there may be constituencies and local authorities which, because of their administration, are unable to do that for this year’s elections.
