§ MR. DARBY GRIFFITHsaid, he would beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether it will be the intention of the Government that the Bill for the prevention of Corrupt Practices at Elections, which has been considered and reported on by a Select Committee, should be brought forward at the earliest period next Session?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERI do not feel myself capable of informing the House as to the mode in which the Parliamentary campaign for next Session will be planned. But I certainly should be very sorry if the Bill to which my hon. Friend refers is not passed next Session; and I think the best plan for passing it would be to introduce it as soon as possible.
