HC Deb 21 November 1912 vol 44 cc500-1W
Mr. LYNCH

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether his attention has been called to cases in which joint stock banks, or their agents, in Ireland, acting as treasurers to public bodies, have canvassed for insurance business from boards of guardians and rural district councils, and accepting commissions for obtaining such business; and, if so, in view of the Prevention of Corruption Act, whether any action will be taken in the matter?

Mr. BIRRELL

No such cases have been brought to my notice.
