HC Deb 13 February 1940 vol 357 c606W
Mr. Thorne

asked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that two members of the British Union of Fascists were recently sentenced to terms of imprisonment for activities prejudicial to the State, and that, prior to their conviction, they had been in communication with the British Union of Fascists on the matter which caused their apprehension and subsequent imprisonment; and what action he proposes to take against this organisation?

Sir J. Anderson

The circumstances of these cases did not warrant the institution of proceedings against any other person. As shown by these cases, a close watch is being kept on the activities of this organisation, and when necessary suitable action is taken.
