§ MR. BAILLIE COCHRANEasked the Vice President of the Council, now that the Ballot Bill is divided into two parts, By what means he intends to provide that the Parliamentary and Municipal Elections Bill should not become Law without securing the passing of the Corrupt Practices Bill, which contains the clauses to prevent personation?
§ MR. W. E. FORSTER, in reply, said, it was difficult to answer that Question; but his answer would be the same as if the Question had referred to the Bill undivided. Of course, the Government was anxious to pass the two Bills, just as it would have been anxious to pass the one. They had placed them next one another on the Notice Paper for this purpose, and it remained for the House to say what should be done with them.
