I welcome this proposal, because during the recent elections in Burnley there were reports of wholesale fraud taking place on an industrial scale in terms of personation and fake postal votes. Is the Minister considering proposals to require photo identification when people turn up to vote to cut out the appalling growth in personation that is taking place in some polling stations?
