§ Mr. NEWMANasked the Attorney-General the number and the names of the cases in England, Wales, and Scotland, since the year 1883, in which persons who have been reported by an Election Court for the corrupt practice of undue influence or bribery through their agents with their knowledge and consent, have been convicted on indictment of a misdemeanour under Section 6, Sub-section (1), of the Corrupt and Illegal Practices Prevention Act, 1883?
§ Sir RUFUS ISAACSNo complete records exist of the number of convictions, and the information could only be obtained after long and laborious search. The results of such an inquiry could not possibly be adequate to the labour involved.
