§ Mr. MACLEANasked the First Commissioner of Works, as representing the Secretary for Scotland, whether he intends to take steps to amend the law of Scotland whereby the action of credit warehousmen in supplying householders with goods will be investigated, so that some amendment of the law may be brought into operation to prevent the husband from being involved in any pro- 942W ceedings that may arise and also to prevent warehousemen from arresting the wages of any such workmen for any debts contracted unknown to them by their wives?
§ Sir J. BAIRDMy Noble Friend will be glad to consider any information which the hon. Member may furnish in support of the view that there is a case for inquiry and possibly amendment of the law. He cannot, however, give any undertaking as to legislation.
