HC Deb 06 July 1858 vol 151 cc1000-1
MR. GILPIN

said, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if it is his intention to extend the provisions of the Corrupt Practices Prevention Act to Municipal Elections?

MR. WALPOLE

said, there was no time this Session to introduce a Bill on the subject, but he had always had a strong opinion that the Act ought to be extended to Municipal Elections, and he would support any measure for that purpose.
