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
From memory, I believe that 49 allegations were made in 2000, before the extension of postal voting, which proves my hon. Friend’s point. [Interruption.] If that figure is wrong, I will correct it, but my hon. Friend is quite right that fraud is not connected exclusively to the extension of postal voting. I shall come on to that in a second.
