Proceeding contribution from David Cairns (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 26 February 2007. It occurred during Opposition day on Electoral System.
Electoral System
My hon. Friend is correct that it was alleged that the current system benefits Labour, but that allegation was made in relation to the boundary changes, and seemed to suggest that the boundary commissioners were biased towards Labour, which is a disgraceful attack on the integrity and the independence of the boundary commissions. I hope that the hon. Member for Orpington (Mr. Horam), who made that allegation, will reflect on it.
