HC Deb 20 February 1922 vol 150 cc1547-8W
Mr. JAMES WILSON

asked the Minister of Labour whether he is now in a position to state the result of his investigation regarding the fact that a firm of clothiers with several branches in London was violating the Trade Boards Act: and whether he will now state the reason why no action has been taken?

Dr. MACNAMARA

Owing to the large number of cases still awaiting investigation, it has not yet been possible, with the staff available, to deal with the case referred to. My hon. Friend will appreciate that it is necessary to take cases of complaint of evasion according to their urgency, both as regards the individuals and the district affected. This particular case has not been overlooked, and will be taken in its turn.
