HC Deb 27 February 1896 vol 37 c1263
MR. J. E. GORDON (Elgin and Nairn)

I beg to ask Mr. Attorney General, whether the Government, with a view to the amendment of the Law relating to election trials, will ask those of Her Majesty's Judges who have recently served on such cases to furnish a Report of the procedure which, in their opinion, needs alteration, so as to reduce the present costs and avoid frivolous charges?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir RICHARD WEBSTER,) Isle of Wight

The matter is receiving attention, but until the election trials have come to an end it is impossible to say what action will be taken.
