§ Mr. Simon HughesTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what statistics relating to the responsibilities of his Department are collated by parliamentary constituency, indicating the dates covered in each case. [123847]
§ Mr. Straw[holding answer 25 May 2000]Statistics of candidates' election expenses at United Kingdom Parliamentary General Elections and certain other associated details relating to postal voting and rejected ballot papers have been collected and published, listed by United Kingdom parliamentary constituency, in the form of a House of Commons paper. The series covers every General Election since 1883, with the exception of that of December 1918.
Figures on the votes cast, postal and proxy voting and rejected ballot papers in the 1999 European Parliamentary Election will be published on a parliamentary constituency basis. This information will be contained in a Home Office statistical paper to be published later this year.
No other Home Office statistics are collected on a parliamentary constituency basis.
