§ Major Stourtonasked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been drawn to the activities of the Peace Pledge Union whose representatives exerted every effort to deter young men from registering under the Military Training Act; and whether any official action is contemplated to deal with this breach of the law?
§ Sir S. HoareI am aware of the general attitude of the Peace Pledge Union to the Military Training Act, but no evidence of direct attempts by representatives of the Union to dissuade young men from registering as required by the Act has been brought to my notice. Any such attempt may expose the persons concerned to the risk of proceedings at law.
