523 Mr. R. Bruton asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if his attention has been drawn to the fact that it is possible through the selection of permutations and combinations of lower-order preferences for voters to create a form of electronic signature in respect of their votes; if his Department has considered the possibility that the existence of such electronic signatures can create the opportunity for a group of voters to enter into a contract to vote in a certain way, which would be verifiable afterwards by searching the electronic returns for the distinguishing electronic signature; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
