§ Sir J. Mellorasked the Home Secretary whether he has considered the probable consequences of the decision of the House of Lords in the recent case of Pratt versus Cook, Son and Company (St. Paul's), Limited; and whether, in order to prevent widespread litigation of an unworthy character, the Government propose to introduce legislation to amend the provisions of the Truck Acts, with due regard to the best interests of employers and employed?
§ Sir J. AndersonI am having the position examined, but I cannot at present express any opinion on the question of legislation.
