HC Deb 23 July 1888 vol 329 cc189-90
MR. W. ABRAHAM (Glamorgan, Rhondda)

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether he has received a communication from the United Temperance Council of Tenby, calling attention to the attitude of the Tenby Bench of Magistrates towards breaches of the Sunday Closing (Wales) Act; and, whether he is in a position to state what action he proposes to take in reply to the communication?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. MATTHEWS) (Birmingham, E.)

Yes, Sir; I have received such a communication. I have not been supplied with any evidence that the magistrates or the police have failed to fulfil their duties with regard to the enforcement of the law. In the absence of any such information, I do not think that any action on my part is called for.
