HC Deb 22 April 1920 vol 128 cc556-7
40. Mr. WATERSON

asked whether, in view of the recent return of candidates to Parliament on a minority vote, he proposes to introduce legislation establishing the alternative vote?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given on the 31st ultimo to the hon. and gallant Mem- ber for Kincardine and Western, to which I have nothing to add.

Lieut.-Colonel MURRAY

Are we to understand that the Government approve of the principle of the return of Members by means of the minority vote?
