HC Deb 22 June 1915 vol 72 cc1045-6
24. Mr. GINNELL

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, in view of the number of the collections and entertainments purporting to be connected with the War, or with sufferers from the War, that are found to have been organised for personal or even criminal purposes, whether he will adopt measures to prohibit any such collection or entertainment without a licence or some official guarantee of genuineness upon which the public can rely, and to co-ordinate the operations of all so permitted?

Sir J. SIMON

The question whether any steps can be taken in the direction indicated by the hon. Member is receiving attention.
