§ Mr. Wedgwoodasked the Home Secretary whether Joseph Ashmore Thumb-wood, Wilfrid Gordon Snape, James Chapman Winn, and Ernest Wyatt, recently charged under the Defence Regu- 1926W lations, had been members of the British Union of Fascists; whether they had been interned or will they now be interned?
§ Mr. H. MorrisonI understand that these four men were formerly members of the British Union. They had not been interned. Two of them have recently been sentenced to three years' penal servitude, while the remaining two have been acquitted. I am considering the question whether further action in the matter is necessary.
