Former MP for Shrewsbury
4. asked the Home Secretary whether he will consider arrangements whereby prisoners whose crime involved pecuniary loss to anyone can be made to do work of a marketable character, from which the financial proceeds can go to the parties who have previously suffered such losses until the whole of them are worked off?
Is it not a fact that it would be easier for the State to bear these losses than many poor people who are robbed and get no return?
1. asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the revelations before the Public Control Committee of the London County Council recently, he will see that British Consuls abroad are informed of the pending visits to their areas of British women and girls on entertainment contracts and that they should protect their interests where necessary and report all irregularities?
In view of the fact that, in spite of all precautions, the passport regulations may not make prevention of abuse absolutely watertight, and as irregularities have existed before, could there be any harm in circularising the consuls in advance as to these visits, as a greater safeguard?
Can my right hon. Friend say how these recovery figures compare with foreign countries?
35. asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether any decision has now been come to as to the Report on the grievances of British ex-service men in the Irish Free State?
Will the right hon. Gentleman make any statement before the Dissolution?
8. asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he can now state what decisions have been arrived at as to the recommendations made in the Report regarding the Solomon Islands, both as to inter-island wireless communications and other matters?
