HC Deb 28 January 1960 vol 616 c51W
36. Mr. Janner

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on the present position regarding the steps taken by Her Majesty's Government to deal with the pro-Nazi outbreaks in Great Britain.

55. Mr. Gordon Walker

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement about the recent demonstrations of anti-Semitism.

Mr. R. A. Butler

Her Majesty's Government strongly deplore the foolish and offensive behaviour of the persons responsible for the recent incidents of swastika painting and other anti-Jewish activities. In nearly all the cases reported to the police there is evidence of the commisison of a crime and the police are taking most energetic action to trace the offenders and to deal appropriately with them. I have no reason to think that the matter cannot be dealt with satisfactorily in this way.
