Mr. Soames

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will call for a report from the chief constable of Avon on allegations of ballot rigging in the Transport and General Workers Union in Bristol, currently under investigation by his force; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Giles Shaw

I understand from the chief constable of Avon and Somerset constabulary that his officers are investigating reports of alleged criminal offences associated with voting irregularities in the Bristol branch of the Transport and General Workers Union and that a report of their investigations will be submitted to the Director of Public Prosecutions.
