Proceeding contribution from Oliver Heald (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 January 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Electoral Administration Bill 2005-06.


Electoral Administration Bill

My right hon. Friend may wish to comment on the remarks by the electoral commissioner in Birmingham, who said last year that"““no serious independent investigation was ever carried out into postal vote fraud. In short, there is likely to be no evidence of fraud if you do not look for it.””" Is not the problem that insufficient attention has been paid to a serious risk to our system?
