HC Deb 24 November 1925 vol 188 cc1144-5
45. Mr. PENNY

asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the intimidation frequently resorted to in industrial disputes to restrain people willing and wishful to work, he will consider the advisability of amending the Trade Union Act in regard to peaceful picketing?

The PRIME MINISTER

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave on the 18th November in reply to a. question by my hon. Friend the Member for the Isle of Thanet.

Mr. PENNY

Will the right hon. Gentleman keep in mind that the sooner this question is tackled the sooner we shall have peaceful industrial relations?

Sir W. DAVISON

Is the Prime Minister aware that in the dispute in the book trade which at present obtains, the offices of the newspapers in this country, which have nothing to do with the dispute, are picketed to prevent newsvendors from getting their supplies?

Forward to
