HC Deb 19 October 1939 vol 352 c1062W
Mr. Leach

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Information whether he will now make it clear that the information in his possession relating to the despatch of parcels of butter by Mr. Hentzen of Bradford, before the war, to friends of his in Germany, removes all reproach of unpatriotic conduct against that gentleman?

Sir E. Grigg

The information in the possession of my Noble Friend which was given to the Press in regard to the despatch of parcels of butter to addresses in Germany made no allegation of unpatriotic conduct against Mr. Hentzen nor is there any suggestion that his conduct in this regard has been unpatriotic.
