Mrs. Winifred Ewing
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland why the count for the regional election in Speyside-Glenlivet was held in Aberdeen.
Mr. William Ross
Choice of place for the count is entirely a matter for the returning officer. I understand that his decision was based on a number of factors, including availability of staff and other resources, road communications and postal voting arrangements.
