§ Mr. SAKLATVALAasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether it is now the policy of his department no longer to employ Communists; and, if so, whether it is proposed to extend that policy to those workpeople who, whilst not members of the Communist party, are known to hold views subversive of the capitalist order of society?
§ Lieut.-Colonel HEADLAMThe reply to the first part of the question is in the affirmative; as to the second part, it is not intended to employ in the Admiralty service any persons who are actively engaged in the dissemination of anti-constitutional and revolutionary propaganda.
