HC Deb 12 July 1906 vol 160 cc1059-60
MR. MYER (Lambeth, N.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention had been called to the remarks made by Mr. Coroner Troutbeck, at an inquest held at Wandsworth on the 9th instant, to the effect that the deceased was in a state of health to fall an easy prey to quackery, and that quacks were allowed to practice and make fortunes out of poor people who were suffering from mortal diseases; and will he say whether he intends to take any steps to prevent the public from being victimised by such persons.

MR. GLADSTONE

No, Sir. My attention had not been called to the Coroner's remarks. I fear I cannot add anything to the reply on this subject which 1 gave to the Question asked by the hon. Member on March 12th last.†

MR. MYER

When will the right hon. Gentleman be aroused to a sense of his duty.
