HC Deb 06 June 1918 vol 106 cc1747-8
20. Mr. CHARLES DUNCAN

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he has issued any circular or instructions to watch committees urging them to forbid members of the police force joining an association or urging them to take any action against men who are suspected of being members of an association?

Mr. BRACE

My right hon. Friend has not issued any circular or instruction to watch committees on this subject, but when inquiry has been made of him he has replied in the sense of the answer which he gave in this House to the right hon. Member for Derby on 19th December, 1916.
