HC Deb 20 March 1922 vol 152 c19
84. Major BARNETT

asked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been drawn to a speech recently made by M. Krassin to a mass meeting of Red Army soldiers in Russia, in which he is reported to have said that in every British working man's house the royal portraits have been replaced by portraits of Lenin and Trotsky; whether he will take steps to ascertain whether such report is correct; and, in the event of its proving to be correct, whether he will deprive this alien of the passport facilities which he has hitherto enjoyed?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

I have no knowledge of the report referred to, but if the hon. and gallant Member will provide details I will cause inquiries to be made. The third part of the question does not arise.
