HC Deb 25 June 1936 vol 313 cc1951-2
46. Mr. MANDER

asked the Prime Minister whether it is proposed to take any action concerning the Peace Pledge Union, which has 100,000 individuals pledged to resist participation in war under all circumstances and contemplates special training for the purpose?

The PRIME MINISTER

No, Sir.

Mr. MANDER

Does not the Prime Minister appreciate that this movement is now becoming serious from the national point of view, that Members of both 'Houses of Parliament are associated with it and that it is receiving the utmost encouragement from the present foreign policy of the Government?

Mr. EMMOTT

Is the House to understand that the special training to resist participation in war is of a military character?
