HC Deb 28 February 1978 vol 945 c140W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish a table showing the average proportion of the electorate that voted in each of the districts of Scotland in last May's district council elections.

Mr. Harry Ewing

This information is not held centrally but the hon. Member may care to refer to "The Scottish District Elections 1977"—compiled and edited by J. M. Bochel and D. T. Denver, and published by the University of Dundee—which lists the percentage turnout in contested wards by districts.

Mr. Sproat

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list the number of votes cast in each latest community council election in Scotland; and what those votes cast were as a percentage of the total electorate eligible to vote in each community council election.

Mr. McElhone

This information is not available centrally at present, but a survey is in hand.
