§ Sir WILLIAM BULLasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention has been called to the fact that a member of a trade union cannot enforce at law against the executive of his union a claim for the benefits 1651W for which he has subscribed, if the executive declines to satisfy the claim, and can be shown to be the executive of a union whose rules make it a union operating in restraint of trade, and to the fact that the consequent position of members of trade unions lays them open to arbitrary denial of benefits on political grounds, as distinct from expulsion; and whether Trade Unions (No. 2) Bill is to be construed as removing the grievance from which members of trade unions suffer in this respect?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLIt will be more convenient to defer the discussion of this point to the Committee stage of the Bill.
