Proceeding contribution from Laurence Robertson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 19 April 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Northern Ireland (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill.


Northern Ireland (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill

I am grateful to the Minister for clarifying that the chief electoral officer’s recommendation need not be made public, and that it could be kept private—[Interruption.] I hear the suggestion that there might be, in the Minister’s own words, a weak electoral officer. Such an officer would surely be bound to keep his recommendations private.
