HC Deb 24 July 1912 vol 41 c1152
21. Sir J. D. REES

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will inquire whether, during the tailors' strike, the employers asked for protection for non-union workers?

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

I have made inquiry, and the Commissioner of Police informs me that the police received a number of such applications, which were in all cases complied with. One application was received at the Home Office, and was at once forwarded to the Commissioner.
