§ MR. CHIOZZA MONEY (Paddington, N.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he has now received from the Paddington Borough Council any explanation of their refusal to take proceedings against local traders who had failed to supply the names and addresses of home-workers employed by them.
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. GLADSTONE,) Leeds, W.I have now received a letter from the Council stating that they have reconsidered the matter, and have adopted the following resolution:— "That the solicitor be instructed to take steps to secure the outstanding lists of home-workers employed in this borough, and if necessary, to take proceedings against one firm or employer as a test case." I have asked the Council to let me know the result of the steps which they have decided to take.
