Proceeding contribution from Lord Brett (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 8 July 2009. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Scottish Parliament (Elections etc.) (Amendment) Order 2009.


Scottish Parliament (Elections etc.) (Amendment) Order 2009

I understand that to be the case. The only other recommendation made by the Gould review that is not being adopted is having a chief returning officer. We want to strengthen the board approach rather than the individual approach. I assure noble Lords that the points that have been made will be taken back to my department, and I will seek further information on the noble Lord’s question about the circularity between the statute and the Electoral Commission. Motion agreed.
