HC Deb 01 March 1934 vol 286 c1249
12. Mr. VYVYAN ADAMS

asked the Home Secretary whether he is now in a position to say what action it is proposed to take with regard to the organisation called the British Fascists and other wearers of political uniforms?

Sir J. GILMOUR

I am not in a position to add anything to the reply which I gave to my hon. Friend on the 20th February.

Mr. ADAMS

While I appreciate the brevity of the period that my right hon. Friend has had, may I ask him if he will undertake to act before it is too late against these dangerous travesties of patriotism; and, if he cannot yet declare these movements illegal, will he, in conjunction with the Minister of Health, consider taxing the wearing of this exotic haberdashery so that we can have some means of knowing the precise number of uncertified lunatics in the country?
