§ LORD EDMUND FITZMAURICEI beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if the Commission appointed to consider the effect of certain legal decisions on the law relating to trades unions has met; how many meetings 248 have yet been held; and, when the Commission may be expected to report.
§ * MR. AKERS-DOUGLASI can only repeat the answer which I gave on behalf of the First Lord of the Treasury to a similar Question by the hon. Member for the Cleveland Division last Tuesday week,† viz., that the Commission has at present held only private sittings, but will very shortly meet to take evidence, and that it is impossible to say when the Report will be presented. I have nothing to add to this.
