Whether they have any evidence that personation of voters is a problem in any part of the United Kingdom outside Northern Ireland. [HL4336]
§ The Minister of State, Department for Transport, Local Government and the Regions (Lord Falconer of Thoroton)We have no evidence to suggest that personation is a significant problem in England, Wales or Scotland.
