HC Deb 14 July 1930 vol 241 cc924-5
56. Sir K. WOOD

asked the Attorney-General whether he has now in his possession any evidence which will enable him to institute proceedings against the publishers and printers of certain circulars inciting certain soldiers to mutiny and sedition and distributed to a number of soldiers on 27th May last, and in respect of which a person distributing such leaflet was sentenced for endeavouring to seduce soldiers from their allegiance to 18 months' imprisonment with hard labour at the recent Hampshire Assizes?

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL (Sir James Melville)

No, Sir.

Sir K. WOOD

Is every effort being made to obtain this evidence?

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL

indicated assent.

Mr. MARJORIBANKS

In accordance with the precedent of the Campbell case, will there be a Cabinet decision on this matter?
