I thank the hon. Gentleman for his intervention, but I would rather he had not made it, because I had intended to say that and now he has mentioned it first. I think that technology has facilitated a situation in which we can record what happens in polling stations. Making that recording available would be the best sort of change, because it would not record which way people vote.
I had starting to talk about the Greek situation, where transparent ballot boxes are used, which, in terms of transparency, are better than black boxes. We had a situation in Cheetham Hill ward in Manchester in 2003 when a ballot box went astray for about an hour and a half after the end of polling. Obviously that is a good opportunity for ballot box-stuffing, as people can
put a few extra votes in the ballot box as they drive around Manchester. There are a number of advantages with the filming process. If someone is personating, we would see who it is, which in a sense is the better challenge.
