§ 32. Sir P. Hannonasked the Home Secretary whether he is satisfied that the measures now operative for the observation of the activities of aliens and other organisations and persons prejudicial to the national interest are being rigidly and effectively carried out in rural districts in all parts of Great Britain?
§ Sir J. AndersonI have no reason to doubt that the police are as active in this matter in rural areas as in urban areas, but if my hon. Friend has any information to the contrary, I shall be glad to consider it.
§ Sir P. HannonHas my right hon. Friend received any information from any part of the country that chief constables and other officers are being hampered because of lack of co-operation from the Home Office?
§ Sir J. AndersonI am quite certain that there is no ground for any such statement.
§ Captain Alan GrahamIs that activity to include the 17 exceptions which are making work for the chief constables impossible?
