§ Mr. L. GINNELLasked the Attorney-General whether public practices of questionable legality preceding Parliamentary elections are not examined by or on behalf of the Director of Public Prosecutions or the Attorney-General unless brought under their notice by a person affected; whether it is intended to introduce legislation on this subject to counteract recent developments; and, if so, when he expects it will be introduced?
§ The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (Sir W. Robson)Any substantial complaints made with regard to corrupt practices before or after an election are certainly considered. So far as I understand the question to relate to the intention of the Government as to legislation, I, of course, am not in a position to say anything.
