§ 43. Colonel LOCKWOODasked 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. SIMONThere 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 LOCKWOODHas the right hon. Gentleman had the opportunity of looking at the information which I forwarded to him on this subject?
§ Sir J. SIMONI will have it examined.
