§ 45. Mr. BOTTOMLEYasked the Prime Minister whether he will consider the desirableness of introducing a measure under which such an offence as that in respect of which the Member for East Leyton is now suffering a term of imprisonment would automatically vacate a scat in this House?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI am not inclined to think that it would be desirable to take the course suggested by the hon. Member.
§ Lieut-Commander KENWORTHYIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that the statements made by the hon. Member for East Leyton were exactly the same as those made by the Lord Privy Seal and other Members of this Government five or six years ago?
