Proceeding contribution from Gavin Strang (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 23 October 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Scottish Elections 2007.
Scottish Elections 2007
Is my right hon. Friend aware that the Edinburgh, East and Musselburgh Scottish parliamentary constituency had the highest number of spoiled constituency ballot papers? I thank him for his constructive response to the workmanlike report from Ron Gould. Will he confirm that not only that report but the Arbuthnott report recommended that the elections to local authorities in Scotland and to the Scottish Parliament should be held separately, so the Scottish Executive certainly needs to give that careful consideration? Finally, may I thank my right hon. Friend for pointing out that for the Scottish Parliament, we do not need electronic counting of the ballots?
