HC Deb 30 June 1980 vol 987 c429W
Mr. Wm. Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether the post of chief electoral officer for Northern Ireland was advertised; or if the post was tilled by an internal promotion.

Mr. Alison

On the retirement of the previous postholder, my right hon. Friend appointed Mr. P. A. Bradley to be chief electoral officer for Northern Ireland. Mr. Bradley was previously deputy electoral office in Londonderry. The post was not advertised.
