HC Deb 05 March 1941 vol 369 cc917-8
54. Sir Henry Morris-Jones

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether cases of suspected or alleged disloyalty to the national cause in the Civil Service are dealt with by the Department concerned; and how many instances have occurred where the police and the intelligence service investigating such cases have been refused facilities for their inquiries by the Department concerned?

Captain Crookshank

The answer to the first part of the Question is "Yes"; to the second part, so far as I am aware, "None."

Sir H. Morris-Jones

Captain Crookshank
