§ 39. Mr. Platts-Millsasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department in view of the decision that members of Fascist organisations are not to he employed by the Government in confidential posts, whether he will now make public the list of members of the "Right Club," contained in the Red Book which was impounded by him when Captain Ramsay was interned.
§ Mr. Platts-MillsIn view of the apparent alarm of the Government at present about people in various prominent offices whose loyalty is suspect, is it necessary to go on being so squeamish about the identity of those people whose loyalty is very much suspect, and whose public positions have been boasted about in the past?
§ Mr. EdeI am not squeamish in this matter, but I do not think it right to publish a list of names which somebody wrote in a book as people who might, in certain circumstances, be sympathetic to him. I have no grounds for believing that any proper check was ever made whether these people were, in fact, his associates.
