ELECTORAL REFORM SOCIETY

Early day motion 1982, tabled 23 July 2007 by Ken Purchase (Labour). Signed by 22 members.

That this House is dismayed that the Electoral Reform Society continues to play a part in the dubious arm's length management organisations' campaigns to persuade local authority tenants and leaseholders to agree to first stage privatisations of council stock; and notes that following its part in the Wolverhampton campaign, which has so far failed to deliver an extra penny of housing investment, it has now played a part in a similarly expensive campaign in Lambeth and has in both cases agreed to leading questions being formulated on the ballot papers.

Signatures by party: Labour 19, Liberal Democrat 3.
