HC Deb 06 March 1891 vol 351 c436
MR. HOWARD (Middlesex, Tottenham)

I beg to ask the Attorney General whether he will consider the desirability of introducing a Bill to extend "The Municipal Elections (Corrupt and Illegal Practices) Act, 1884," so as to make its provisions applicable to elections of Vestry Clerks and other parochial officials who are elected by open Parochial Vestry or poll of a parish?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir R. WEBSTER,) Isle of Wight

I am not prepared to introduce such a Bill. As far as my information goes, there is no demand for it. In the event of a District Councils Bill being introduced, the matter will necessarily receive consideration.
