35. Mr. Davidson

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he has considered the resolution forwarded to him by the Scottish Daily Newspaper Society with regard to the Official Secrets Act; and has he any statement to make?

The Secretary of State for the Home Department (Sir Samuel Hoare)

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer which the Under-Secretary gave to a question by the hon. Member for Kirkcaldy (Mr. Kennedy) on 2nd May, to which I am not yet in a position to add.

Mr. Davidson

Can the Home Secretary indicate when he will be in a position to make a statement to the House on this question?

Sir S. Hoare

I hope to be in a position to make a statement on Thursday.
