Commons Reply to Lords on Ballot Bill Sparks Debate
The House of Commons returns the Ballot Bill to the Lords with a firm rejection of their amendments. It defends secrecy, rebukes the Lords for trying to remove safeguards, and notes the illiterate voter's special handling exposed the bill to broader flaws. The Commons stands clear on its intent and accuracy of the measure.
