HC Deb 26 February 1934 vol 286 cc756-7
41. Captain HUNTER

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if, in view of the tendency to civil disorder which the carrying of miscellaneous flags and banners in processions and at demonstrations of various kinds frequently provokes, he is prepared to take such steps as may be necessary to prohibit the display of such emblems in public places when, in the discretion of the police authority, such prohibition may be advisable?

The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Sir John Gilmour)

As at present advised, I do not think that it is necessary to introduce legislation for this purpose.

Captain HUNTER

Is that in accordance with the answer that my right hon. Friend gave last week in respect of the wearing of uniforms?

Sir J. GILMOUR

Oh yes, certainly.
