HC Deb 05 May 1932 vol 265 cc1278-9
45. Dr. MORRIS-JONES

asked the Prime Minster whether the Government will consider introducing at an early date a measure of electoral reform?

The LORD PRESIDENT of the COUNCIL (Mr. Baldwin)

In view of their other urgent preoccupations, the Government have not considered this question.

Dr. MORRIS-JONES

In view of the composition of the present Government and of the present House of Commons, does not the right hon. Gentleman consider that this is an excellent opportunity for bringing in legislation on this very much needed reform?

Mr. SPEAKER

That seems to be a matter of opinion.

Mr. CHARLES WILLIAMS

Is proportional representation being tried within the Cabinet?
