§ Captain BLAIRasked the Home Secretary if he will consider the desirability of promoting legislation with a view to allowing the cost of the petrol and licence which has been announced is to be allowed to a candidate and his agent at a Parliamentary election to be excluded from his election expenses?
§ Sir G. CAVEThe cost of the petrol used by a candidate for the purposes of an election appears to be included in his "personal expenses." I cannot undertake to introduce any fresh legislation on this subject.
