§ 28. Mr. Glenvil Hallasked the Home Secretary whether the licence issued to the Excelsior Philanthropic Society, under the House to House Collection Act has been renewed?
§ Mr. H. MorrisonNo, Sir, I decided to discontinue the order, as under war conditions this Society found itself no longer able to serve a charitable purpose. I understand that the work is being conducted on a commercial basis.
§ Mr. HallIs my right hon. Friend aware that this Society has always been conducted on a commercial basis, and that charity has received very little from it at any time during its existence?
§ Mr. MorrisonI have answered the Question on the Paper, and I thought my hon. Friend would now be happy.
