HC Deb 12 March 1918 vol 104 c157
19. Mr. ANDERSON

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that the police have visited the premises of the Pelican Press, Gough Square, Fleet Street, E. C., in respect of a leaflet printed by this firm; whether he knows that the leaflet announced a mass meeting organised by the Acton and Chiswick Trades and Labour Council and the Acton Food Vigilance Committee in respect of the distribution of food, and that the police have informed the printers that they have broken the law in printing such a leaflet; if he will state on whose instructions this visit was made by the police; and for what reason such action was taken?

The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Sir George Cave)

I am informed by the Commissioner of the City Police that the leaflet referred to has not been brought to his notice, and that nothing is known of the alleged visit by the police to the premises in question.
