Proceeding contribution from David Cairns (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 3 February 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Returning Officers (Accountability).


Returning Officers (Accountability)

May I finish the point first? There is a lot of room for improvement, and we all know it, but unless the inspection regime is significantly more rigorous than the one being followed by the Electoral Commission, areas with poor practice will carry on and local authorities will not devote the time, money and personnel needed to improve performance. I shall give way first to my hon. Friend the Member for Chorley and then to my hon. Friend the Member for Vale of Clwyd.
