§ 31. Mr. N. MACLEANasked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been drawn to the case of Mr. W. H. Hunt, who on 22nd March was called into the general office of the Haunchwood Colliery Company whether he is aware that it is alleged that the chairman of directors of that company read a copy of a letter to Mr. Hunt which Hunt himself had sent to a printing firm in Glasgow that the contents of this letter were merely a request to send on publications issued by that firm that Hunt was dismissed without being given any opportunity of explaining the matter and that the publishing firm, the Bakunin Press, were raided by the police and letters as well as publications taken away; if he will say whether a copy of Hunt's letter to this firm was supplied by the police to his employers and, if so, whether this is to be accepted as the general policy of the authorities?
