HC Deb 15 February 1867 vol 185 c405
SIR ARTHUR BULLER

asked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether, upon Monday, February 25, he will give any explanation of the measures which the Government are prepared to propose for the more effectual prevention of Corruption at Elections?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

With reference to the Question just asked me by the hon. and learned Gentleman, and the two other Questions I find on the Paper, I would say that on Monday, the 25th instant, before I move that we shall consider the Reform Resolutions which I then intend to bring forward, I will make a statement to the House which will meet the points (measures to prevent corruption, whether plurality of votes would be adopted, and whether the reduced value of the qualifying tenement in counties and boroughs would then be moved).
