§ 33. Mr. WARDLAW-MILNEasked the Home Secretary whether he is now in a position to state what action the Government have decided to take regarding the attacks upon Great Britain and the Government of India contained in recent issues of the "Daily Worker"?
§ Mr. CLYNESIn reply to these questions, I regret that I am not yet in a position to add anything to the replies which I have given to previous questions on this subject.
§ Sir K. WOODHaving regard to the fact that these publications were issued some weeks ago, will the Home Secretary now indicate when he will be able to make a full statement on the matter?
§ Mr. CLYNESI am not able to give any indication as to making a full statement. As I have informed the right hon. Gentleman, the position is being closely watched with a view, if necessary, to action being taken.
§ Sir K. WOODI am not asking about "watching." I am asking when the right hon. Gentleman will come to the decision which he undertook to communicate to the House as regards the prosecution of certain people for seditious publications.
§ Mr. CLYNESI have indicated that I cannot now make an announcement as to when the decision will be given.
§ Mr. THORNEHas the attention of the right hon. Gentleman been called to the seditious literature published by the party opposite against the Labour party?
