HC Deb 12 December 1946 vol 431 c270W
103. Mr. Warbey

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he has yet reached any conclusion regarding the possibility of introducing legislation to make the utterance of racialistic libels a criminal offence.

Mr. Ede

The question whether the law required strengthening to deal with Fascist, including anti-Semitic, activities and publications was carefully considered by the Government last spring. As I stated in the House on nth April, the Government came to the conclusion that the existing law was adequate to deal with all really dangerous activities.
