§ MR. WARDLE (Stockport)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if his attention has been called to a circular issued by the Imperial Stock and Share Exchange, 19 and 21, Queen Victoria Street, London; and whether, in view of the provisions of the Public Acts relating to Lotteries and Gambling, he proposes to take any action in the matter.
§ *MR. GLADSTONEI have seen the circular and have caused inquiry to be made. As at present advised I do not think proceedings could be successfully taken under the Acts referred to, but I am considering the matter further.
