HC Deb 09 June 1915 vol 72 cc255-6
43. Colonel LOCKWOOD

asked the Home Secretary if the police have instructions to prevent open-air speeches favouring the German cause in the provinces as well as in London?

Sir J. SIMON

There is no reason to think that the provincial police need reminding of their duty in this respect. The powers given by the general law, as well as the special provisions contained in the Defence of the Realm Regulations, are already well known to them.

Colonel LOCKWOOD

Has the right hon. Gentleman had the opportunity of looking at the information which I forwarded to him on this subject?

Sir J. SIMON

I will have it examined.
