HC Deb 16 February 1984 vol 54 c281W
19. Mr. Beith

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what outstanding issues of disagreement between the parties were revealed by his consultations on electoral law.

Mr. Mellor

The consultations showed that while most of the parties agreed in principle with the main recommendations of the Home Affairs Committee, differences existed on the extent to which, and the manner in which, the changes should be given effect.
