§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir JOHN HOLKER) moved for leave to bring in a Bill to amend and continue the Acts relating to the prevention of Corrupt Practices at Parliamentary Elections.
§ SIR CHARLES W. DILKEasked whether it was the intention to change the law with regard to the employment of vehicles at elections?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir JOHN HOLKER)said, it was not proposed to alter the law in that respect in Parliamentary boroughs. He might anticipate, however, that when the Bill was brought into Committee some alterations might be made, and he should wish that the question might be thoroughly discussed; but, at present, it was not contemplated to change the 1392 law in respect of the employment of vehicles at elections.
§ SIR CHARLES W. DILKEgave Notice that the introduction of a new Bill which did not alter the present state of the law in regard to that question would be unsatisfactory.
§
Motion agreed to.
Bill to amend and continue the Acts relating to Election Petitions, and to the prevention of Corrupt Practices at Parliamentary Elections, ordered to be brought in by Mr. Attorney General, Mr. Secretary Cross, and Mr. Solicitor General.
Bill presented, and read the first time. [Bill 78.]
