§ 31. Dr. Littleasked the Home Secretary whether, as information useful to the enemy is continuing to be carried across the border between Northern Ireland and Eire, he will enforce stricter regulations in order to prevent such information reaching representatives of enemy countries in Dublin?
§ Mr. H. MorrisonThere is nothing I can usefully add to the replies already given to my hon. Friend.
§ Dr. LittleDoes not my right hon. Friend recognise that, as we are rapidly approaching the crisis of the war, every avenue through which information could be conveyed to the enemy should be closed, and especially that the open door between the United Kingdom and Eire within the British Empire which gives sanctuary to representatives of enemy countries should be locked, barred and bolted? Is it not time that this was done?
§ Mr. MorrisonI do not know how many divisions of the Army would be required to do it, and, on the whole, I think they are better occupied in fighting the Germans.
