CARD GAME. (Hansard, 6 February 1939)

§ 80. Mr. Day
asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention has been called to a new card game, first introduced in America, ridiculing prominent English personages, including incidents relating to the British Crown; and will he take steps, either by legislation or otherwise, to prohibit the circulation of the same in Great Britain?

§ The Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department (Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd)
No, Sir; my right hon. Friend's attention has not been called to this game.

§ Mr. Day
Has not the hon. Member seen these new cards now in circulation which bring members of the Royal Family into ridicule?

§ Mr. Lloyd
Perhaps the hon. Member will forward them to my right hon. Friend.

§ Mr. Day
Will the Minister take action when they are forwarded?

§ Mr. Gallacher
Is the hon. Member not aware that prominent political personages are bringing themselves into disrepute?
