§ Mr. DUNCAN MILLARasked the Attorney-General whether his attention has been directed to the objectionable methods adopted by moneylenders in pestering the public with letters and circulars touting for custom; and whether, having regard to the annoyance which is thereby caused to members of the public and to the harmful effect upon the community through the inducements thereby provided to borrow money under pledge of secrecy on so-called easy terms, he will consider as to taking steps to discourage or put an end to such practice?
§ Sir RUFUS ISAACSI am aware that moneylenders are in the habit of touting for custom by means of letters and circulars, but I have no sufficient evidence of harmful effect upon the community resulting from such practice to warrant the introduction of legislation to discourage or put an end to it.
