HC Deb 24 July 1916 vol 84 cc1325-6
63. Mr. MACMASTER

asked the Attorney-General whether he will place upon the Table of the House and circulate as a Parliamentary Paper the judgment recently rendered in the House of Lords in the case of the Daimler Company, Limited, versus the Continental Tyre and Rubber Company (Great Britain), Limited, and the reasons given by their lordships on that occasion?

Sir F. SMITH

A full report of this decision has appeared in the Press, and it will, I understand, be fully reported in the various series of Law reports. It appears, therefore, unnecessary to adopt the course suggested by my hon. and learned Friend.

Mr. MACMASTER

In view of the fact that the judgment was only reported in a very few newspapers and in the Law reports, can it not be published and circulated?

Sir F. SMITH

No one is more aware than my hon. and learned Friend how technical most of the judgments in the matter were. I was astonished that they were so very fully reported. Anyone who desires to have a technical report can find five or six Law reports.
