§ 52. Mr. HOGGEasked the Prime Minister whether any steps have been taken to discover the authors of the anarchist conspiracy which resulted in the railway strike; and whether they are to be prosecuted?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWAny strike is anarchist which aims at compelling the Government to yield to the demands of a section of the population by holding up the whole community. The answer to the last part of the question is in the negative.
§ Mr. HOGGEI did not ask for a definition of what I meant by my question. I asked whether the Government are actually following up the anarchist conspirators who, the Prime Minister alleged, were the cause of the railway strike?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWThe hon. Gentleman did not hear the last part of my answer. I said we were not prosecuting anybody.
§ Mr. HOGGEI will raise the question on the Adjournment to-morrow with the Prime Minister, if the right hon. Gentleman will acquaint him of my notice.
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI will ask my right hon. Friend to look at the OFFICIAL REPORT.
