HC Deb 16 February 1938 vol 331 cc1855-6
1. Mr. Mander

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the development of Nazi propaganda in all British Colonies, and Palestine in particular, he will make representations to the German Government on the subject?

The Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (Mr. Eden)

His Majesty's Government are fully alive to the need for close supervision of all forms of foreign propaganda. From such information as I have I do not consider, however, that the particular class of propaganda to which the hon. Member refers is at present of such a nature as to call for action such as he proposes.

Mr. Mander

Is not my right hon. Friend aware that there has been considerable development in this direction recently; and would he not ask the Vansittart Committee to give careful consideration to the quesion?

Mr. Eden

If the hon. Member has some information to give which is not in my possession, I shall be very glad to receive it.

Mr. Mander

As regards the latter part of my supplementary question, will the Vansittart Committee give consideration to this question?

Mr. Eden

Their task has already been defined by the Prime Minister.
