HC Deb 12 December 1922 vol 159 c2634W
Viscount CURZON

asked the Home Secretary when the Bill to deal with street trading will be introduced?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

I hope to introduce the Bill next Session should an opportunity offer.

Mr. HARRIS

asked the Home Secretary whether he contemplates introducing legislation next Session dealing with street trading in London; and, if so, will he before drafting his Bill receive a deputation from the Federation of Costermongers' and Street Traders' Union, so they should have an opportunity to express their views to him?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

I would refer to the reply given on the 5th instant. I propose to introduce the Bill next Session if an opportunity offers, and if the Federation referred to will let me know on what points they desire to see me I will consider receiving a deputation from them.
