HC Deb 06 March 1930 vol 236 cc628-9
33. Mr. SMITHERS

asked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been called to a document, dated 28th February, 1930, and circulated by the Workers' International Relief, British section; and, in view of the fact that statements in this document are calculated to lead to a breach of the peace, will he consider if he can institute proceedings?

Mr. CLYNES

I have seen a copy of the document to which I think the hon. Member refers. As at present advised I do not think that the case is one which calls for action with a view to proceedings.

Mr. SMITHERS

Have the activities of this organisation anything to do with the number of extra police in the streets to-day?

Mr. CLYNES

Demonstrations of the kind referred to are sometimes made more successful by those measures.
