HC Deb 27 February 1924 vol 170 c511W
Mr. SHORT

asked the Minister of Labour whether he has now received the Report of the Trades Dispute Disqualification Committee; and, if not, will be refer the issue to the Law Officers of the Crown so that the express wishes of Parliament might be met without further delay?

Mr. SHAW

The Committee have not yet reported, but I am expecting them to do so shortly. Nothing would be gained by a reference to the Law Officers, as the question at issue is not the interpretation of the law, but whether the law should be altered.
