Wiltshire (Structural Change) Order 2008

I am most grateful to the noble Baroness. I have just two points. First, on the ““favourable”” statistics that she cited, if I can call them that—and she is quite right to cite them in the Government’s favour—she mentioned the remark about the Electoral Reform Society not quite having supervision of the two-thirds/one-third result. What happened on the results that were in the Government’s favour? Did the Electoral Reform Society have a view on that? Why should one give more credence to one set of figures than another? Secondly, the noble Baroness has now emphasised twice, with great skill, that one-third approved. I am sure that that is right, but two-thirds did not.
