HC Deb 09 April 2001 vol 366 c462W
36. Helen Jackson

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans he has to extend the pilot schemes on alternative voting arrangements for the local elections. [156057]

Mr. Mike O'Brien

None at present. After only one round of pilots we believe that there is insufficient evidence on which to base an extension of any piloted arrangements. Notices of the local elections for 3 May have now been issued but we look forward to further pilot schemes taking place in the future.
