HC Deb 29 October 1936 vol 316 cc28-9
Mr. LOUIS SMITH

(by Private Notice) asked the Home Secretary whether in any action the Government may take to deal with rival political activities in the East End, it will take into consideration steps to prevent the breaking up of meetings of political parties in general by extremist agitators?

Mr. LLOYD

The question whether it is necessary or desirable to amend the law in this respect is one of the matters receiving consideration by my right hon. Friend, but I regret that I cannot anticipate the statement of the Government's legislative proposals for next Session.

Sir PERCY HARRIS

May I point out the importance of the time factor? Whatever he does and whatever the Government does should be done quickly.
