§ 81. Sir WILFRID LAWSONasked the President of the Local Government Board whether, seeing that there are objections to the present method of election of parish councillors whereby, where the candidates are more in number than the persons to be elected, the voting is by show of hands in open meeting, he will take steps to alter the law in that respect so as to secure some more secret and freer mode of election in such cases?
§ Mr. BURNSThe suggestion of my hon. Friend will receive my consideration when an opportunity occurs for issuing a new Election Order.
