Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Nicholas Winterton (Conservative). It was answered on Monday, 29 October 2007 on behalf of the Speaker's Committee on the Electoral Commission.


Polling Stations (Siting)

Question
Does my hon. Friend not accept that it would be most undesirable if any polling station or ballot box was placed in superstores such as Tesco—an idea that has been put forward? Tesco has a big enough advantage as it is, without people being advised to go into those superstores, which undermines the small retail sector.
Answer

With his wide experience, my hon. Friend never ceases to have the ability to surprise me with his questions. I had not anticipated that one and will certainly look into it and discuss it with the Electoral Commission.
