HC Deb 20 June 1940 vol 362 c228
20. Mr. Silkin

asked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that the headquarters of the British Union of Fascists in Great Smith Street, Westminster, has re-opened, and that the organisation is being kept alive by volunteers; and whether he proposes to take action in the matter?

Sir J. Anderson

The position is being carefully watched with a view to such action as may be appropriate, but it would be better that I should not indicate in advance the steps which it may be my duty to take.

Sir Henry Morris-Jones

In view of the Questions which I asked before, may I ask whether the right hon. Gentleman will not now declare the organisation an illegal organisation?

Sir J. Anderson

The Question on the Paper relates to one particular organisation, and I would like to have notice of the general question.

Mr. Thorne

In this emergency ought not the right hon. Gentleman to close this organisation down at once?
