HC Deb 27 September 1939 vol 351 cc1352-3W
Brigadier-General Spears

asked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been drawn to the pamphlet entitled Mosley's Message, which is being distributed by the British Union of Fascists, which states that the British Union of Fascists will do all in its power to awaken the people to demand peace; and whether he will consult the Director of Public Prosecutions as to the advisability of taking legal action against the authors and distributors?

The Attorney-General

I have been asked to reply. As my hon. and gallant Friend will appreciate, it would be contrary to the public interest for me to state what action it is proposed to take with regard to any particular document. I can assure my hon. and gallant Friend that all activities which might be prejudicial to the defence of the realm or the successful prosecution of the war are closely watched with a view to appropriate action where the facts warrant it.
