HC Deb 25 January 1995 vol 253 c234W
Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what new proposals he intends to make to eliminate electoral fraud caused by the depositing of fraudulent votes in ballot boxes.

Mr. Nicholas Baker

None. The Representation of the People Act 1983 contains provisions for the prevention and detection of fraudulent votes. The Act also provides for sanction in respect of illegal practices, corrupt practices and other offences. We have no proposals for any change.
