As Scrutineers appointed in accordance with Section 49 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations
(Consolidation) Act 1992 (as amended), we are satisfied as to each of the matters specified in subsection 52(2)
with regard to the election. The following points should be noted:
a) The person appointed under section 51A to carry out the storage and counting of voting papers was
Civica Election Services Limited.
b) The person appointed under section 51A to carry out the distribution of voting papers was Civica Election
Services Limited.
c) A copy of the register of voters (as at the relevant date) was examined in accordance with section 49(3).
The examination took place at our own instance and did not reveal any matter that should be brought to
the attention of the trade union.
We would draw your attention to sections 52(4), 52(5), and 52(6). Section 52(4) requires that a copy of this report
be published and made available to all members of the union within a three month period from today. This does
not, however, mean that every member has to be notified individually.
