HC Deb 02 December 1867 vol 190 c510
MR. DARBY GRIFFITH

wished to put a Question to the Secretary of State for the Home Department on a domestic subject. He wished to know whether his attention had been called to a placard which had been placed on Hansom as well as ugly cabs, threatening a strike at four o'clock to-morrow. He begged to ask the right hon. Gentleman, Whether he had any power of revoking the licence or otherwise to prevent such an occurrence?

MR. GATHORNE HARDY

said, he had no information as to any threatened strike of cabmen more than the hon. Member himself. He was not aware of any new power which had been granted to the Home Secretary or any Member of the Government to control them.
