§ Captain AINSWORTHasked the Home Secretary whether, in view of the large number of defalcations occurring in connection with paying-in clubs and funds which exist for the purpose of mutual annual distribution, he will consider the desirability of introducing legislation compelling such funds only to be drawn on by at least two members who shall be authorised by the whole body of contributors to do so?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSI have been asked to reply. I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the answer to a similar question put by the late Member for Stratford (Mr. Lyle), on the 7th March, 1922.
