HC Deb 24 November 1931 vol 260 cc206-7
45. Mr. BUCHANAN

asked the Prime Minister if he is 'aware that many candidates for election to Parliament, previous to the General Election, were asked to sign a document which renounced their rights to vote freely in this House if elected; and if he will take steps to make it illegal to put any such pressure upon Parliamentary candidates?

The PRIME MINISTER

The answer is in the negative. This would seem to be a matter which should be left to the judgment of candidates themselves, and of the electorate in their constituencies.
