HC Deb 08 July 1908 vol 191 cc1679-80
MR. REES

I beg to ask the Prime Minister whether the Bill dealing with electoral reform, to be introduced during the present Parliament, will include due provision for a second ballot; or whether the Government will give special facilities to private Bills dealing with this subject.

MR. ASQUITH

I am not in a position to indicate the provision of the Bill to which my hon friend refers; but he may be assured that the Government will, so far as is practicable, take full account of the flaws and anomalies of our electoral system with a view to their rectification.
