CONDUCT OF GENERAL ELECTION IN HALIFAX

That this House is concerned at allegations of high levels of voter fraud in Halifax and elsewhere at the 2010 General Election; notes that Calderdale Council has admitted that 763 postal votes from Halifax constituency in that election failed to match voter registration records; is alarmed that, despite the submission of a five page dossier to West Yorkshire Police in May 2010, highlighting examples of voter impersonation, bullying, multiple postal voting, bogus voters and false registration, no formal police investigation was started until September 2010, and only then after resistance; and calls on West Yorkshire Police to instigate an immediate and full investigation into these very serious allegations.
