§ 41. Mr. Ammonasked the Home Secretary why the "Roma," an Italian Fascist club, situated in Greek Street, London, is permitted to carry on its activities?
§ Sir J. AndersonThis club was already being watched. I expect shortly to receive a report from the Commissioner of Police, after which I will communicate with my hon. Friend.
§ 65. Mr. Ammonasked the Home Secretary what action he intends to take regarding the prominent Italian Fascists who are active in London while anti-Fascists are being arrested?
§ Sir J. AndersonThe internment of all Italians known to be members of the Italian Fascist party was ordered on the outbreak of war with Italy. If my hon. Friend knows of any others who have escaped notice, I should be glad if he would let me have particulars.
§ Mr. AmmonHas not the right hon. Gentleman seen the information I sent to him, and also has he not already admitted the existence of a Fascist club in Greek Street?
§ Sir J. AndersonI did receive a paper which the hon. Member sent to me, but the names given in that paper were, I thought, the names of anti-Fascists who, it was alleged, had been interned, and the suggestion in the paper was that in a subsequent issue the names of people who had been overlooked, as suggested in this Question, would be communicated.
§ Mr. AmmonHas not the right hon. Gentleman already admitted this morning that the Fascist club in Greek Street exists? It cannot exist without membership?
§ Sir J. AndersonI said that it was being watched.
§ Sir Derrick GunstonIs there any accuracy in the allegation in the second part of the Question that anti-Fascists have been arrested?
