§ Mr. HAYDENasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if he can state the names and addresses of the persons carrying on business at 99, Donegal Street, Belfast, under the title of the Dublin Advance Company; if such persons are registered moneylenders; if any complaints have been made to the police authorities in reference to the dealings of the firm; and if any action is contemplated against the principles?
§ Mr. DUKEI am informed that a registered firm of moneylenders carried on business in the circumstances stated down to April, 1916, but that the period of registration has expired. To answer the second and third inquiries in the question would not be in the public interest.
