HC Deb 04 February 1943 vol 386 c1053
58. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Home Secretary whether he has considered the anonymous printed circular, a copy of which has been sent to him, advising the public to cash War Certificates and withdraw Post Office Savings Bank deposits if there is the slightest possibility of the Beveridge Plan being adopted; and as such advice is detrimental to the public interest and illegal both in respect of its context and also its absence of publishers' name and address, whether any steps are being taken to deal with this offence?

Mr. H. Morrison

I am much obliged to my hon. Friend for sending to me a copy of this anonymous leaflet, which I had not seen before. While the pamphlet is couched in such extravagant terms that it is difficult to treat it seriously, I have no doubt that appropriate action will be taken if those responsible for infringing the law can be traced.
