HC Deb 07 July 1925 vol 186 cc229-30
70. Mr. B. SMITH

asked the Home Secretary for what reason special privileges have been promised by his Department to British Monomarks, Limited?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for HOME AFFAIRS (Mr. Godfrey Locker-Lampson)

I am not aware that my Department have had any dealings with the firm referred to. If the hon. Member will furnish me with further particulars, I will be glad to have inquiry made.

Mr. SMITH

Is the hon. Gentleman not aware that the agents representing this particular company are importuning large industries in this country to join in an association, the object of which is a boycott on industry, and whether, in fact, they are stating that he and the Postmaster-General are prepared to offer facilities for their assistance.

Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSON

We have had very careful inquiry made into the records of the Home Office, and we cannot find anything at all.

Mr. SMITH

I will let the hon. Member have it.
