27. Mr. PRIMROSEasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether he will call the attention of the Lord Chancellor to the action of Mr. A. J. Hoole, who advocated non-compliance with the provisions of the National Insurance Act in a meeting at Shifnal, though as a magistrate he assists in the administration of the Law?
§ Mr. McKENNAIf my hon. Friend will furnish me with a report of the speech to which he takes exception, I will at once consider the matter.
§ Lord ROBERT CECILWill the right hon. Gentleman say in what respect this case of Mr. Hoole, if the hon. Member's statement is accurate—as I have no doubt it is—differs from that of the passive resisters, with whose action as magistrates the late Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman in 1907 declined to interfere?
§ Mr. MASTERMANI think I should ask for notice of a question which would require me to enter into an elaborate statement.
