§ 20. Mr. HALL-CAINEasked the Home Secretary whether he will inquire into the methods adopted by bogus auctioneers who victimise the public, with a view to seeing whether the provisions of the law as it exists at present are sufficient to protect buyers against trading of this type?
§ Sir J. GILMOURI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given to my hon. and learned Friend the Member for Chatham (Sir P. Goff) on 12th December last.
§ Mr. GROVESIf the right hon. Gentleman can find time to provide facilities for members of the force detecting irregularities with regard to the speed limit, could he not find time to go into these bogus auction sales and discover persons who are employed to buy things which they return after the auction?
§ Sir J. GILMOURIf the hon. Member reads the answer given on the previous occasion, he will see that the matter is fully covered.
