HC Deb 24 October 1949 vol 468 c92W
Sir W. Smithers

asked the Attorney-General, in view of the fact that the American and Australian Governments have seen fit to take legal action against Communists in their countries, whether His Majesty's Government will now consider taking similar action in Britain.

The Solicitor-General

If any evidence is forthcoming that a criminal offence has been committed in this country it will be considered, with a view to prosecution if appropriate.
