HC Deb 22 December 1964 vol 704 c240W
Mr. Blaker

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what, approximately, was the total number of prosecutions for electoral offences in connection with the 1964 General Election.

Mr. George Thomas

The time limit for instituting proceedings will not expire until a year, or in some instances two years, after polling day. In the meantime my right hon. Friend has not thought it necessary to call for any special return as the number of offences is believed to have been very small.
