HC Deb 14 November 1939 vol 353 c561W
Mr. McGovern

asked the Lord Advocate whether he is aware that over 40 business houses in the leading trading centres of Glasgow have had their plate glass windows destroyed by the German swastika and inscriptions, such as clear out the Jews, scraped on the glass by a broken file or other instrument; that hundreds of pounds of damage has been done; what inquiries have been made by the police; and whether any persons have been questioned or arrested as a result?

Mr. Colville

I am informed that certain defacements were recently scratched on the windows of a number of business firms in Glasgow. Investigations are being pursued by the police and a number of persons have been questioned.
