38. Mr. DOYLEasked the Home Secretary if his attention has been called to the fact that the underground activities of Bolshevik agents in this country have greatly increased of late; if the police have recently seized great quantities of propagandist literature; if any newspapers and British subjects are being subsidised by Soviet money; and what quantities, if any, of counterfeit money, manufactured under the auspices of the Russian Government with the object of debasing the British currency, has found its way into this country?
§ Mr. SHORTTThe activities of Bolshevist agents are receiving constant and careful attention, but I do not think it would be in the public interest to make public such particulars as the hon. Member asks for. I may say, however, that no counterfeit notes manufactured in Russia have yet been circulated in England, but specimens have been received of such counterfeit notes; these were brought to England from Soviet Russia.
