HC Deb 19 October 1950 vol 478 c2210
19. Brigadier Rayner

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will give an assurance that extra precautions are being taken at small ports to prevent the entrance into the country of saboteurs and foreign agents.

Mr. Ede

Yes, Sir.

Brigadier Rayner

Does the Home Secretary not appreciate that sometimes foreign fishing fleets, having enjoyed our hospitality, deposit a few dubious people on our shores before they sail away, and has the right hon. Gentleman got this matter in hand?

Mr. Ede

Yes, Sir.
