HC Deb 23 November 1936 vol 318 c36
63. Mr. GALLACHER

asked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that groups of the German National Socialist party are now being formed in this country; and whether he has any information as to the nature of their activities?

Mr. LLOYD

My right hon. Friend is aware that a branch of the German National Socialist party exists in this country. Its ostensible purpose is to promote the social and cultural welfare of German nationals in this country.

Lieut.-Colonel MOORE

Is the hon. Gentleman aware that there are groups of the Russian Communist party in this country, and will he see about their activities?

Mr. GALLACHER

Arising out of the original answer, has the Home Office no information as to their other activities, and will other foreign groups be allowed to form open political crganisations?

Mr. SPEAKER

That is another question.
