"SONG OF THE LUSITANIAN BOGEY" (ALDWYCH THEATRE)

HC Deb 30 June 1969 vol 786 cc5-6W

42. Mr. Wall

asked the Attorney General whether he will refer to the Director of Public Prosecutions the case of those responsible for the current performances of the "Song of the Lusitanian Bogey" at the Aldwych Theatre for prosecution for incitement to racial hatred against the white persons of Great Britain under Section 6 of the Race Relations Act 1965, and for displaying insulting representations in public likely to cause a breach of the peace contrary to Section 5 of the Public Order Act 1936.

The Attorney-General

This is the first complaint I have received about these performances but in view of the hon. Member's allegations, I have asked the Director of Public Prosecutions to look into this matter.
