TRADE UNION LAW. (Hansard, 9 December 1926)

46. Mr. ERSKINE
asked the Prime Minister whether he will consider introducing legislation to amend the trade union law at an early date?

§ The PRIME MINISTER
I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave on Tuesday, 16th November, in reply to a question by my hon. Friend the Member for Great Yarmouth, to which I can at present add nothing.

Mr. ERSKINE
May I ask whether the Committee's Report has been considered by the Cabinet?

§ The PRIME MINISTER
I would gladly tell my hon. Friend, but Cabinet business is supposed to be secret.

Captain BENN
Has the Cabinet given any decision as to whether in their view the general strike was a breach of the existing law?

§ The PRIME MINISTER
When the Cabinet does give any decision on any point, and they think fit to announce it, they do so.

§ Mr. W. THORNE
Was not the decision of the Cabinet given in the Press a few days ago.
