§ The Attorney-General (Sir Reginald Manningham-Buller)With your permission, Mr. Speaker, and that of the House, I should like to inform the House that the Government have now considered the 1858 Second Report of the Select Committee on Elections, which was made available yesterday. The House will doubtless wish to have an opportunity of considering the evidence given to the Committee, but I can say at once that the Government's view is that the recommendations of the Committee should be accepted and they propose to take the necessary steps to give effect to them after the Recess.
§ Mr. GaitskellWhile we are glad to hear that the Government are accepting the recommendations of the Select Committee, can the Attorney-General give us an assurance that this will be the last by-election in this constituency?
§ The Attorney-GeneralI think that that does not lie within my power.
