HC Deb 30 May 1911 vol 26 cc898-9
Mr. STUART-WORTLEY

asked whether the attention which the Government are giving to the question of the law and procedure relating to corrupt and illegal practices at elections will be limited to charities and will not extend to the offering of money to induce persons to give evidence?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

All relevant considerations will be taken into account.

Mr. STUART-WORTLEY

Will the inquiry include the practices named in the question—the practices indulged in by the Liberal party at Nottingham?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I think the least that is said about the practices indulged in at Nottingham the better.

Mr. STUART-WORTLEY

Are we to understand that those practices will be excluded from this inquiry?
