I propose to take Questions Nos. 250 to 271, inclusive, together.
The procurement of appropriate secure storage accommodation for electronic voting machines and ancillary equipment is the responsibility of returning officers, who are statutorily charged with conducting elections and referenda. My Department has written to returning officers requesting information in regard to, inter alia, the procurement of such accommodation.
As regards information provided by returning officers on ownership of storage premises, I refer to the reply to Question No. 516 of 8 February 2005.
