§ MR. TAYLOR (Lancashire, Radcliffe)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been called to the action re Richard Stephenson and Co., which came on on Tuesday, 30th April, before the Lancashire Chancery Court, at Liverpool, in which a War Office clerk appears as a company promoter carrying on business in Victoria Street; and, if so, whether it is in accordance with the regulations of the War Office for the discharge of his duties.
LORD STANLEYI am not aware of the case. If the hon. Member will give me the name of the clerk in question, I will inquire into the matter.
