Categorised under the topic of General elections.

leave out from `House' to end and add `condemns the inaccurate and misleading information the Conservative Party has put in the public domain regarding their false allegations of Labour voter fraud in Halifax; notes that the police have put out a statement saying their preliminary investigations into this issue were completed without resistance on their part by July; further notes that the Conservative Party's statement that these investigations were started by the police in September 2010 is factually inaccurate; further notes that the BBC's Politics Show investigated the allegations at the weekend and found nothing to back up the Conservative claims; praises the impartiality and integrity of Calderdale Police and Calderdale Council's electoral services office; looks forward to the findings of the police investigation being completed on Friday; calls on the Conservative Party to apologise for the behaviour of the defeated Conservative candidate in Halifax; further calls on the Conservative Party to condemn the defeated Conservative candidate in Halifax for signing a Facebook petition calling for a by-election in Halifax; further notes that there is no substance to any of these allegations; further notes that people dislike a bad loser; and suggests that if the police findings show no proof of any of these allegations the Conservative Party should issue a full and frank apology for their smears, spin and untruths.'.
