§ Sir IVOR HERBERTasked the President of the Local Government Board whether his attention has been drawn to the alleged irregularity in the election of parish councillors in the parish of Rumney by the refusal of the presiding officer to grant a poll demanded by a sufficent number of electors in accordance with the provisions of the Law; and whether he will cause an independent inquiry to be instituted into the matter?
§ Mr. BURNSMy attention has been drawn to the matter referred to by my hon. and gallant Friend, but I have no authority to direct an inquiry with respect to it.
