§ MR. RANKIN (Herefordshire, Leominster)asked Mr. Attorney General, Whether there is anything in the provisions of the Truck Act passed last Session which renders it illegal for any employer to give his workmen beer or cider, in addition to their wages, if such gift does not form any part of a contract for wages?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir RICHARD WEBSTER) (Isle of Wight)In reply to the hon. Member, I have to say that there is nothing in the provisions of the Truck Act passed last Session to make it illegal for an employer to give his workmen beer or cider in addition to his wages, if such gift does not form any part of the contract for services.
