Proceeding contribution from David Lidington (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 20 April 2017. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
The Electoral Commission does provide such guidance to returning officers and their staff, including those running polling stations. The handbooks from the commission specifically include a procedure for dealing with personation and guidance on dealing with other issues. I am disappointed to hear that Walsall Council does not wish to follow best practice, and I hope it might reconsider following my hon. Friend’s representations.
