ELECTORAL REFORM
USE OF MOTOR CARS [BRITISH OFFICIAL WIRELESS.] RUGBY, April 22. The House of Commons resumed consideration of the Electoral Reform Bill, which has not been before the House since the defeat of the Government, before the recess on the clause abolishing university representation, and. debated the clause prohibiting the use of motor cars on polling day, except those placed at the disposal of returning officers. Opposition speakers declared that the provision would be unworkable. In reply, the Home Secretary (Mr. Clynes), while not claiming perfect draughtmanship for the clause, said that the Government’s object was to equalise the conditions for poor and rich candidates.
