§ 26. Colonel Wedgwoodasked the Home Secretary what were the names of the four sponsors of Mr. Duvivier; and are, or were, any of them members of the British Union of Fascists or the Link?
§ Sir J. AndersonIt would not be right for me to publish the names of the persons who supported this application for naturalisation. I may say, however, that it was ascertained at the time that they were responsible persons of good repute, and I have no reason to think that any of them is or has been a member of the organisations referred to.
§ Colonel WedgwoodIs it generally understood in all cases that the names of these sponsors are not for publication?
§ Sir J. AndersonThat is so, Sir, to the best of my belief.
§ Mr. ManderWould it be fair to say that the Home Secretary would view with grave suspicion any recommendation from anyone who had been a member of either of these two bodies referred to in the Question?
§ Sir J. AndersonThat is a different question altogether.
