HC Deb 17 March 1919 vol 113 cc1719-20
49. Mr. HIGHAM

asked the Prime Minister if he will consider the advisability of appointing a Commission to collect information and evidence concerning the aims and objects of the Bolsheviks, with special regard to their treatment of women?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I do not think such a Commission is necessary in view of the large amount of information and evidence already available.

Sir J. BUTCHER

Is the evidence to be circulated throughout the country?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I believe it is arranged that is shall be published, but I cannot pledge myself to that circulation.

Mr. G. TERRELL

Are the Government taking any definite steps to deal with Bolshevism in this country?

Mr. BONAR LAW

They are doing as much as they can. The amount of their success must be judged by the hon. Member.

Lord H. CAVENDISH-BENTINCK

Is not Bolshevism in this country a pure bogey?
