§ 19. Mr. H. H. SPENCERasked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been called to the fact that in the recent South African election the South African party polled 33 per cent. more votes than the Nationalists but the Nationalists obtained 20 per cent, more seats; and Whether this phenomenon will cause him to consider the advisability of introducing some scheme upon a correctly proportional system of representation for this House?
Mr. HENDERSONI have seen statements in the Press to the effect suggested. The hon. Member was present, I believe, during the Debate on May 2nd on the Representation of the People Bill and will remember that I promised then that the Government would go very fully into the position.
Mr. HEALEYIs the right hon. Gentleman taking into consideration the case of Fermanagh and Tyrone, where a Unionist vote to-day is equal to 2½ Catholic votes?
