HC Deb 06 November 1906 vol 164 cc312-3
MR. TOMKINSON (Cheshire, Crewe)

To ask the Secretary to the Treasury, whether having regard to the number of public meetings held in different parts of the country in opposition to the conversion of the Liverpool Victoria Legal Friendly Society into a limited liability company, he will order such inquiry as may be considered necessary to ascertain whether or not the members of the society are in favour of such a step being taken.

MR. SLOAN (Belfast, S.)

To ask the Secretary to the Treasury, whether any, and, if so, what, action has been taken regarding the affairs of the Liverpool Victoria Legal Friendly Society; and whether, in view of the action taken by the society's officials and the dissatisfaction of a large proportion of its members, he will order an inquiry into the whole matter.

(Answered by Mr. McKenna.) Perhaps I may refer the hon. Members to the Answer which I gave yesterday to the hon. Member for the College Division of Dublin, to which I can add nothing at present.†
