HC Deb 22 July 2004 vol 424 cc395-6W
Mr. Gordon Prentice

To ask the hon. Member for Gosport, representing the Speaker's Committee on the Electoral Commission what information he has as to when the Electoral Commission expects to publish its reports on the June 2004 all-postal pilot elections [186438]

Mr. Viggers

I understand that the Commission has advised the Secretary of State for Constitutional Affairs of its intention to submit its evaluation of the June 2004 all-postal pilots to him on 27 August 2004. On this date the Commission will electronically publish on its website (www.electoralcommission.org.uk) all four regional reports as well as an overarching report. This will enable its conclusions to be available before Parliament returns from its summer recess in September.

Printed copies of all the reports will be available from 13 September and the Commission will send a copy of each of the reports to every Member of the House.
