		That was the conclusion of the commission of the Hansard Society chaired by the right honourable Christopher Chataway on an all-party basis.
		Indeed, it was a manifesto commitment of this party and, I think, of the Government that there should be established an independent election commission to deal with a range of matters, including the efficacy of voting systems, the conduct of elections, broadcasting and other matters which are otherwise argued on a wholly partisan basis.
