§ Mr. W. R. SMITHasked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that the police are inquiring as to the persons that are acting as branch officers of the Agricultural Labourers' Union in Norfolk; whether he will state the reason for this action; and whether, seeing that it is being interpreted as a form of intimidation and an interference with the liberty of the subject, he will take steps to prevent a continuance of the same?
§ Mr. SHORTTI am aware that such enquiries were made, but I am assured that no intimidation or interference with liberty was intended or implied As, however, such enquiries are liable to be misunderstood, I will see that they are-discontinued.
