HC Deb 23 April 1928 vol 216 c629
60. Mr. R. MORRISON

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he has received complaints against the growing practice of certain companies and individuals selling tea on the promise of large cash bonuses to their customers which are not forthcoming; and whether any prosecutions have taken place?

The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Sir William Joynson-Hicks)

Except for a communication of the 18th instant from the hon. Member, no complaint has been received by me during the last year or two. No criminal offence is as a rule committed and proceedings are therefore not possible.
