Proceeding contribution from Kelvin Hopkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 1 February 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill.

Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill

I thought that the 1832 Reform Act had got rid of the idea that votes could be bought. Perhaps they can no longer be bought directly, but elections can certainly be bought. Does the hon. Gentleman agree that certain seats will be won because of the money spent there?
