§ 36. Mr. TREVELYANasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that Mr. Bertrand Russell has now delivered the full course of lectures in Manchester which he was prohibited from delivering in Glasgow and other places owing to the Order of the Army Council; and whether he will now consider the Order made against Mr. Russell?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEI am not aware, nor is it the fact, that Mr. Bertrand Russell was ever prohibited from delivering in Glasgow a course of lectures which he has now delivered in Manchester. As I explained on the 18th of October, an. Order issued on the 31st August, not by the Council, but by the competent military-authority, prohibited Mr. Russell from entering any probitited area. It is not possible to base on this fact any argument for the reconsideration of an Order-that was not made to prevent Mr. Russell lecturing on philosophy.
§ Mr. TREVELYANI beg to give notice that I will raise this question on the Adjournment.
