HC Deb 17 March 1910 vol 15 cc525-6
Mr. CLELAND

asked whether it was the intention of the Government to introduce legislation with a view to strengthen the provisions of the Corrupt and Illegal Practices Act?

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (Sir W. Robson)

There is no intention to introduce such legislation at present, at all events.

Mr. REES

When the Government do consider legislation on this subject, will they consider the propriety of making canvassing an illegal, if not a corrupt, practice?
