HC Deb 15 July 1929 vol 230 c36
57. Mr. HORE-BELISHA

asked the Prime Minister if he can state the terms of reference, and the names of the Members who are to constitute the inquiry into electoral reform?

The PRIME MINISTER

I cannot at present add anything to what I said on 10th July in reply to a question by the right hon. Gentleman the Leader of the Opposition. I shall make an announcement immediately agreement is reached.

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

When does the right hon. Gentleman propose to discuss the terms of reference?

The PRIME MINISTER

As a matter of fact, I should like to arrange a meeting to-day if certain very important official engagements will enable me to find time. I am only waiting for that opportunity to invite the right hon. Gentlemen to meet me.

Mr. THORNE

Will the right hon. Gentleman take into consideration the questions of plural voting and representation of universities?

The PRIME MINISTER

That has already been declared. The terms will be framed so that the experiences of the late election will be covered.
