HC Deb 13 June 1940 vol 361 c1369
24. Mr. Mander

asked the Home Secretary what action he proposes to take with reference to a body calling itself The British Council against European Commitments, formed in 1938, having amongst its listed speakers persons who are now interned, and of which the secretary was John Beckett?

Sir J. Anderson

The only answer which I can give to questions about particular organisations of this character is that it would not be right for me to make statements in advance as to what action it may be my duty to take.

Mr. Mander

Will the right hon. Gentleman be good enough to bear in mind that one of the principal speakers for this organisation was Lord Haw-Haw?
