§ 44. Mr. INSKIPasked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that a number of American subjects are preparing a campaign in this country on American lines, to be financed by American money, with a view to the prohibition of the sale of alcoholic drinks; and whether, in view of the bitterness and disorder which this campaign may arouse in this country at a very critical time, he will consider the possibility of informing these persons that the British electors prefer to settle their domestic questions for themselves?
§ Mr. SHORTTI am not indisposed to agree with the suggestion that the British people can settle this matter for itself, but as I informed the hon. Member for Nottingham last Thursday, I do not think any steps by the Government are necessary.
Sir J. D. REESIs my right hon. Friend aware that the hon. Member for Nottingham was not satisfied with that answer?
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYWill any obstacle be placed in the way of our retaliation, of our sending missionaries to America to reconvert them back to our system in this country?
§ Mr. SHORTTPerhaps my hon. and gallant Friend will consider that.
