Will my right hon. Friend revisit the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000 to try to prevent the kind of electoral abuse that is occurring in Barnsley, where a group of candidates are standing in the local elections as so-called independents, despite the fact that they have registered as a political party? Does my right hon. Friend agree that the electorate are being misled?

My hon. Friend makes a very fair point, but it is also worth paying tribute to what Barnsley council has been doing. It is in the middle of a multi-million pound redevelopment of its town centre and it is investing more than £1,000 a year more per pupil in education. It has also cut crime, particularly domestic burglary and the theft of motor vehicles, by a significant amount in the Barnsley area, so it is doing an excellent job with the resources that it is being given.
