Electoral Administration Bill

Proceeding contribution from Rob Wilson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 25 October 2005. It occurred during Debate on bills on Electoral Administration Bill.
The Minister cited Birmingham as a high-profile case, but is she aware that there are several smaller cases throughout the country? For example, there was a police investigation in my constituency of Reading, East that proved that fraud had occurred. However, a challenge to the result was impossible because the investigation lasted well beyond the legal time limit in which such a challenge could be made. Should not the time limit be suspended while an active police investigation is taking place?
