ARPAED

MARTIN LEE CLAIMS THAT ALL CATEGORIES PUBLIC OPINION SURVEYS,

ORGANISED SUBMISSIONS, INDIVIDUAL LETTERS AND QUESTIONNAIRES

THOSE FAVOURING DIRECT ELECTIONS IN 1988 AS OUTNUMBERING THOSE

OPPOSED (PAGE 21 OF POSITION PAPER)

-

SHOW

A selective and misleading use of the figures contained in the

Survey Office report.

Ignores other figures relating to certain categories of

individuals who do not support direct elections in 1988.

Conclusions drawn by Martin Lee are therefore wrong: situation

is nothing like as clear cut as he suggests.
