HC Deb 18 August 1911 vol 29 cc2270-1W
Mr. GINNELL

asked the Attorney-General for Ireland, whether, as Director of Public Prosecutions in Ireland, he will take any action for the protection of poor and inexperienced people against persons without means or legal qualification obtaining money as life insurance companies; whether he will take any action against the persons responsible for the policies submitted to him in which the whole lives of Denis Hickey and Michael Sullivan are insured with the so-called Irish Provident Assurance Company, whose articles of association preclude life insurance; if these cases are not conclusive, whether he will, for the information of many insured on different forms, say in what they fail; and, action being beyond the reach of those poor victims, whether any general redress is available to them?

Mr. REDMOND BARRY

I am not in a position to make any decision on the statements contained in the hon. Gentleman's question, but I am making other inquiries.
