§ 22. Mr. DonohoeTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will bring forward plans to change the system of representation on the added members list. [118147]
§ Dr. ReidWe have no plans to change the system of representation on the added members list. The purpose of the additional members is to ensure that the number of seats won by each party in the Parliament more accurately reflect the votes cast for those parties. That can only be done when both constituency and regional votes are cast on the same day.
