HC Deb 09 May 1940 vol 360 c1378
16. Captain Ramsay

asked the Home Secretary what information he has showing the receipt of money or orders from Germany to formations or persons in this country; and whether he will give full details?

Sir J. Anderson

I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the reply which I gave on 2nd May to a Question by my hon. Friend the Member for Gillingham (Sir R. Gower).

Captain Ramsay

Will the right hon. Gentleman inform the House when and as soon as he gets any information regarding the organisations in this country getting money and orders from Germany?

Sir J. Anderson

My answer was that information of that kind ought not to be disclosed unil action has been taken on it.

Mr. Thorne

Will the Home Secretary make inquiries about the hon. Member's own organisation and where it gets the money from?

Captain Ramsay

Does not the right hon. Gentleman agree that it is unfair that people of this country should be led to suppose that German funds and orders are coming to this country when there is no foundation in fact?

Sir J. Anderson

I always do my best to correct any unfair impressions which are held by the public.
