Proceeding contribution from Anne Begg (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 8 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Electoral Administration Bill 2005-06.


Electoral Administration Bill

People are worried about changing the electoral system and pilots because of the possibility of abuse through fraud. However, if anything illustrated how seriously electoral fraud is taken, it was the court cases that resulted from the 2004 local elections in England. If anyone thought that such fraud would be treated lightly, they were soon disabused of that view because of what happened to the councillors who took part in it.
