HC Deb 15 July 1898 vol 61 cc1214-5
MR. H. SAMUEL (Tower Hamlets, Limehouse)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will state the reason for the delay in the appointment of a Select Committee of the House to inquire into the grievances of the friendly societies with reference to shop clubs?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT

I had rather expected to receive some indications of opinion with reference to this, suggested Committee. I will, however, place a notice of Motion on the Paper to-night for consideration.
