§ 47. Major Stourtonasked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the attitude of the German Government in South-Eastern Europe, which menaces the ultimate security of this country, he will now take immediate steps to introduce a National Register?
§ Sir S. HoareI am not satisfied that in present conditions the introduction of a complete National Register would add anything to the steps which are already being taken by His Majesty's Government for the security of this country.
§ Major StourtonIn view of the increased international tension, does not my right hon. Friend think that this measure is now overdue?
§ Sir S. HoareWe are constantly watching the situation, and, as I say, we have not come to the conclusion that, in present conditions, a change is needed.
§ Mr. GallacherIs not the right hon. Gentleman aware that before you can get a National Register, you will have to get rid of the Prime Minister?
