HC Deb 23 July 1924 vol 176 c1287
1. Mr. HARMSWORTH

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that the Norwegian Government are introducing legislation for the punishment of persons inciting workers to strike and preventing others from working; and will he instruct the British Minister at Christiania to watch its effect, if and when passed into law, with a view to considering whether similar legislation should be passed in this country?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Ponsonby)

I have received from His Majesty's Charge d'Affaires at Christiania particulars of the proposed legislation to which the hon. Member refers, and will ask him to report on further developments.
