§ Mr. TURNERasked the Home Secretary if he is able to see his way to introduce a Bill into Parliament to amend the law relating to Parliamentary and other elections so as to prevent one or more parties influencing the elections by the use of motor cars to take able-bodied people to the polls; and will he, if introducing such an Amendment, make it illegal to use motor cars for the bringing up to the poll of able-bodied voters, and that, except for the personal use of agent or candidate, the only cars used for taking to the poll electors shall be those provided by the returning officers for the purpose of taking infirm people to the poll?
