HC Deb 15 September 1909 vol 10 cc2137-8
Mr. M'ARTHUR

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he can now give the name of the Commissioner who will investigate the recent disturbances in Liverpool, and state the terms of reference under which the inquiry is to be conducted?

The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. Herbert Gladstone)

I am in communication in this matter with the City Council of Liverpool, and until I hear from them that they are prepared to make the necessary arrangements for the inquiry I cannot take any steps towards appointing the Commissioner.

Mr. M'ARTHUR

Can the right hon. Gentleman answer the second part of my question?

Mr. GLADSTONE

No, Sir.
