HC Deb 19 October 1939 vol 352 cc1043-4
62. Mr. Harold Nicolson

asked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that several persons prominently connected with the Link, which was disbanded as an agency of enemy propaganda, have now joined a new organisation, styling itself "The British Council for Christian Settlement in Europe"; and whether the activities of these people are still being watched?

Sir J. Anderson

The answer to both parts of the question is in the affirmative.

Mr. Thurtle

Has the right hon. Gentleman any knowledge of the financial backing of this organisation and whether any Members of this House are part of the organisation?

Sir J. Anderson

I ought to have notice of that question.

Mr. Butcher

Is my right hon. Friend aware that certain resignations have taken place from this body?

Miss Wilkinson

Can we be assured that no members of this organisation are in the Ministry of Information?
