Proceeding contribution from Jim McGovern (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 July 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Political and Constitutional Reform.
Political and Constitutional Reform
The Deputy Prime Minister seems to accept that chaos occurred both during and following the 2007 election in Scotland, when more than 100,000 ballot papers were spoilt. The Gould report recommended that never again should people be presented with different ballot papers on the same day. The Deputy Prime Minister chooses to ignore that. Can he tell us why? He constantly refers to a ballot paper saying simply "yes or no". Can he answer "yes or no" to this question? Has he consulted the Scottish Executive?
