HC Deb 20 September 1939 vol 351 cc968-9W
Captain Plugge

asked the Home Secretary whether he will take steps to make it known to Englishmen and Englishwomen who, being still British subjects in enemy countries, agree to be employed as announcers of anti-British propaganda in English from enemy broadcasting stations, that they thereby render themselves liable to prosecution in this country for treason?

Sir J. Anderson

Any British subject who undertakes work of the kind described must be well aware that his conduct may lead to his having to meet charges of the gravest character hereafter.
