ELECTORAL COMMISSION POWERS

Early day motion 1031, tabled 8 March 2010 by Gordon Prentice (Labour). Signed by 37 members.

That this House deeply regrets that various officers and staff of the Conservative Party refused to attend interviews with the Electoral Commission when requested; believes the investigation into Bearwood Corporate Services Ltd suffered as a result; and further believes the Electoral Commission requires additional powers to compel the attendance of people at interviews held in connection with its investigations into possible breaches of electoral law.
