PQ 414

445 Mr. Sargent asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if he will consider changing the design of ballot papers in order that the empty boxes in the party logo column beside non-party candidates be blacked or shaded out to avoid confusion; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that a number of voters in the local and European elections 2004 wrote preferences in these blank boxes and in some cases their vote was spoiled due to the fact that they subsequently wrote different preferences in the correct column.
