HC Deb 17 November 1965 vol 720 c1154
Mr. Speaker

On 12th May my predecessor announced that, at the request of the Prime Minister, he had agreed to preside over the Conference on Electoral Law, and on 23rd June he informed the House of the names of the Members who had accepted his invitation to serve on the Conference. The Prime Minister has invited me to take over the Conference in order that this work may continue. I have readily agreed to do so.
