Proceeding contribution from David Wilshire (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 23 October 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Scottish Elections 2007.


Scottish Elections 2007

To save the Secretary of State from pointing it out, I start by saying that I am English and I represent an English constituency. For years I was proud of the United Kingdom's electoral systems and of the fact that people all over the world looked to us for the way in which to conduct proper elections. Then a judge said that postal vote fraud in England would disgrace a banana republic, and now Labour Ministers are accused in an independent report of trying to corrupt the electoral process. When will someone resign, or are the Government totally without shame?
