Note: EliottCann withdrew as a candidate after ballot papers had been dispatched, and all his votes have been disregarded.

I am satisfied that there are no reasonable grounds for believing that there was any contravention of a requirement imposed by or under any enactment in relation to the election.

I am satisfied that the arrangements made with respect to the production, storage, distribution, return or other handling of the voting papers used in the election, and the arrangements for the counting of the votes, included all such security arrangements as were reasonably practicable for the purpose of minimising the risk that any unfairness or malpractice might occur.

I have been able to carry out my functions without such interference as would make it reasonable for any person to call my independence in relation to the union into question.

I have not inspected the register of members. I was not requested by any member or candidate to inspect or examine a copy of the membership register.

Accord did not appoint an Independent Person under Section 51A of the Act.

Yours sincerely
