§ 43. Mr. Sorensenasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he has considered resolutions from a number of organisations in Leyton protesting against defence regulations affecting the restriction of democratic liberties and trade union rights, the power of censorship, the detention of British subjects without trial, the prohibition of meetings on grounds of disaffection, entry and search without warrant, and other matters; and what action he proposes to take?
§ The Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department (Mr. Peake)My right hon. Friend has received such resolutions from two organisations in Leyton. The matters referred to were debated in the House in October, and subsequently a number of amendments were made and a revised code of defence regulations was introduced. My right hon. Friend does not think any further revision of the regulations is called for.
