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

The hon. Gentleman knows very well that 20 per cent. is a minimum figure and that in some areas far more than that, up to 100 per cent. of votes, will be checked. He cannot argue that individual identifiers—signature and date of birth—solve the problem for the register and then say that they do not come near solving the problem for postal voting. That is fundamentally inconsistent.
