HC Deb 03 May 1928 vol 216 c1878
6. Mr. R. MORRISON

asked the Home Secretary whether he has now considered the evidence submitted to him by a London newspaper concerning alleged frauds in the practice of selling tea with cash bonuses; and to what decision he has come?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

The papers forwarded by a firm of solicitors acting for a London newspaper are under consideration but it is not yet practicable to announce any decision.

Mr. MORRISON

Am I to take it that if when these papers have been considered the Home Secretary finds that the public are being swindled in this way, action will follow?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

As soon as I am in a position to do so, I will let the hon. Member know.
