HC Deb 15 November 1928 vol 222 c1060
17. Major COHEN

asked the Home Secretary whether, in view of the fact that poppies were being sold in the street on Armistice Day not made at the British Legion poppy factory and the proceeds from the sale of which did not go to Lord Haig's Fund for Ex-Service Men, it is possible to introduce legislation to prevent a recurrence in future years?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

I have every sympathy with the object which my hon. and gallant Friend has in view; but I fear that the matter is one which can only be dealt with by legislation of a very difficult character.
