§ 45. Mr. BUCHANANasked 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 MINISTERThe 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.
