§ Mr. VIANTasked the Home Secretary if he will inform the House of the date on which he issued instructions from his Department to the authorities concerned that equal justice should be meted out to all parties, and of the text of those instructions?
Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSONI presume the hon. Member refers to an answer which my right hon. Friend gave to a supplementary question on the 16th instant. He then had in mind the view which he had expressed, on learning of the seizure of the "Daily Herald" van, to the effect that if there was reason to think that any Fascist organisation had in fact instigated this action every effort should be made to obtain evidence which would lead to the conviction of those responsible, since, of course, the law must be administered with complete impartiality.
