§ 24. Sir JAMES SEXTONasked the Home Secretary if his attention has been called to a pending prosecution of the officials of a workmen's club at Derbyshire Hill, St. Helens, on the grounds of having promoted a lottery or sweepstake which was confined exclusively to the 2247 ordinary members of the club; and whether he will issue a general circular to the effect that no action should be taken by local police authorities in club sweepstakes restricted to club members?
§ Mr. CLYNESI understand that the case is pending and in view of that fact my hon. Friend will realise that I cannot at present properly say anything about it.
