HC Deb 11 February 1932 vol 261 cc1055-6W
Mr. DONNER

asked the Home Secretary whether, in view of the character of Communism and the harm it does to industrial peace and the welfare of the working classes in the United Kingdom, he will consider taking the necessary steps to make all Communist organisations, newspapers, literature, meetings, and propaganda illegal?

Sir H. SAMUEL

There is no sufficient reason for proposing the legislation that would be necessary to effect this purpose. Any attempts to foment breaches of the law can be, and are, proceeded against in the ordinary course.
