Scope and Content

The Association for Moral and Social Hygiene decided not to send out its official circular to Parliamentary candidates because of the exceptional circumstances in which the General Election in 1931 was being held. Instead it sent a suggested questionnaire which asked Parliamentary candidates whether they would support the Public Places (Order) Bill which would repeal the Solicitation laws

Folder contains letters and some signed questionnaires from Parliamentary candidates, and a list of names who sent sympathetic replies
