HL Deb 20 February 2003 vol 644 c200WA
Lord Waddington

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the present prescribed notices for guidance for voters at Greater London Authority elections are wrong insofar as they instruct voters to vote once for their first choice and once for their second choice at the mayoral election, there being no requirement in law to make a second choice as well as a first. [HL1314]

Lord Evans of Temple Guiting

As indicated in the Answer given on 23 January 2003, (WA 125), the Government are currently consulting on aspects of the rules for London mayoral and assembly elections, including the present prescribed notices to which my noble friend refers. The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister will consider all responses received during this exercise before finalising the rules for the next elections.
