§ Mr. RHYS DAVIESasked the Home Secretary whether he has considered the disabilities under which borrowers are labouring in taking legal action against unconscionable transactions of moneylenders, inasmuch as the borrower is financially embarrassed and cannot find the money to take legal action, and that in any case he dislikes the publicity that would come of taking such legal action; and what steps he proposes to take in the matter?
§ Sir J. GILMOURI am aware of the difficulties which may hamper borrowers in having recourse to their legal remedies for the reopening of a moneylending transaction, but I am not aware of any practicable steps which could be taken to meet these difficulties.
