HC Deb 24 February 1865 vol 177 c660
MR. BERKELEY

asked the Home Secretary, Whether it is the intention of the Government to bring forward, this Session, any stringent and decisive measure for the prevention of corruption and the protection of Electors at Parliamentary Elections?

SIR GEORGE GREY

said, the Government did not intend to propose a Bill upon that subject during the present Session.

MR. BERKELEY

gave notice that he should, in that case, propose a Resolution for the purpose of giving protection to voters at Parliamentary Elections in the shape of a Ballot Bill.
