HC Deb 25 June 1924 vol 175 c429
47. Viscount CURZON

asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the fact that the Government have information that Communist organisations in this country have received and are receiving money from foreign revolutionary societies, the Government will set up a Select Committee to inquire into the whole question of revolutionary organisations in this country and their connection with unauthorised or lightning strikes, their organisation, and source of their funds and, in particular, the cause, identity of the individuals, organisations, funds, etc., of the recent strike on the Great Western and Underground Railways, with a view to protecting the public from similar attempts to exploit it in future?

Mr. CLYNES

I do not think that the adoption of the Noble Lord's suggestion would serve a useful purpose.
