§ 64. Major HUNTasked the President of the Board of Trade, whether his attention has been called to the hostile demonstration which occurred on Wednesday last at the office of Messrs. Benjamin, at Bermondsey, on account of this being a German firm owned and managed by two men of German nationality; and whether, in justice to British firms in the same trade whose representatives are serving in the Army, he can see his way to have this firm wound-up?
Mr. HARCOURTI have seen Press accounts of this incident and of the subsequent Police Court proceedings. As regards the concluding part of the hon. Member's question, the matter has been referred to the Board's Advisory Committee, who will, I understand, consider it within the next few days.
