Returning Officers
- Question
- If he will take steps to strengthen accountability arrangements for returning officers.
- Answer
-
The Government are aware of concerns that have been raised in Parliament about the accountability of returning officers and registration officers, and we are exploring ways to address them. I have to say to the right hon. Gentleman that any changes should take place only if they support the principle of the independence of these officers.
