§ 38. Major-General Sir ALFRED KNOXasked the Horne Secretary whether he has any information regarding recent receipt by the Communist party of Great Britain of money from the Third International: and, if so, whether he proposes to take any action?
§ Mr. CLYNESThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative and the second part does not, therefore, arise.
§ Sir A. KNOXIs the House to understand that the right hon. Gentleman had no information of the fact that the Communist party received a large sum from the Third international?
§ Mr. CLYNESWe have no information, nor has anyone. The statement appeared in the Press I understand, and was denied.
§ Sir A. KNOXIs it not a fact that the money was received in order to start a daily Communist paper?
§ Mr. SPEAKERThe right hon. Gentleman has said that he has no information.
