§ MR. H. D. GREENE (Shrewsbury)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention has been called to the case of Spokes v. Drew and others, tried in the High Court of Justice, with reference to the Gros- 1370 venor Hotel Company; and whether he will consider the expediency of requesting the Public Prosecutor to inquire into the matter, and, if necessary, obtain the advice of the law officers thereon?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENTMy attention has, of course, been called to this case. I hardly think any steps are necessary on my part, but I will communicate with the Attorney General, under whose superintendence, in undertaking criminal proceedings, the Public Prosecutor is required to act.
