HC Deb 15 March 1951 vol 485 c203W
103. Colonel Ropner

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in view of the considerable increase in the price of such items as printing and envelopes, it is proposed to amend the Representation of the People Act so as to allow Parliamentary candidates to spend at an election a proportionately greater sum of money.

Mr. Ede

No. I have no evidence at present that the existing allowance is too small.
