§ MR. TREVELYAN (Yorkshire, W.R., Elland)On behalf of the hon. Member for South Wolverhampton I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury if he will state whether he proposes to take any, and if so what, action against the National Committee for Passive Resistance to the payment of the Education Rate, as in law a criminal conspiracy.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI know little or nothing about the society to which the hon. Gentleman calls my attention. I do not know whether they have taken action which would bring it within the scope of the criminal law; but I should trust no person of sense would embark in any undertaking of the kind, which is equally at variance with sound logic, sound morality, and sound constitutional principles.
