§ Mr. STANTONasked the Home Secretary if he will have inquiries made into the bullet and missing-word competitions which appear in certain papers and grant the public the protection it is entitled to from his Department?
§ Mr. SHORTTWhether a missing-word competition contravenes the law is a question for the court to decide on the facts in each case, and I am advised that the competitions are generally so conducted as to comply with the law as laid down in the decided cases.
