Proceeding contribution from Graham Stringer (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 November 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Localism Bill.


Localism Bill

The Minister and I were involved in the congestion charge referendum in Greater Manchester, and I think we both had concerns about the returning officer's impartiality. Will the changes under discussion deal with situations such as that, where the returning officer was appointed by one side of the campaign and they operated from adjacent offices?
