§ 40. Mr. MANDERasked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that a person formerly included by his Department on the list of approved hangmen is now travelling the country fair-grounds with a show demonstrating an actual hanging; and whether he will take steps to prevent such practices?
§ Sir HERBERT SAMUELI have seen a report in the Press, but I regret that there is no means, as far as I am aware, of preventing such representations.
§ Mr. MANDERWill the Home Secretary make inquiries?
§ Sir H. SAMUELI have no power to take any action.
§ Mr. MACQUISTENDoes the right hon. Gentleman not think that this exhibition may have the effect of preventing serious crime? Could he not offer this performer to Chicago after his tour here?
