HC Deb 25 June 1930 vol 240 c1167W
Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether his attention has been called to the existence of Red propaganda in the British Colonies in the West Indies; whether he is aware that one of the propagandists held credentials from Moscow; and whether he will investigate the facts in the interests of tranquility in the islands?

Dr. SHIELS

Apart from certain statements in newspapers, I have no information on the subject. If anything should arise requiring action, it would be promptly brought to my notice by the Governments concerned, and any necessary measures would be taken.
