§ Dr. SummerskillThe inquiries which my right hon. Friend asked the Metropolitan Police to undertake have been completed. It is not, of course, for us to express a view on whether the activities of this group are or are not desirable. Their activities concern the police only in so far as it is necessary to consider whether criminal offences may have been committed by anyone in pursuance of those activities; and they concern my right hon. Friend in so far as it is necessary to consider whether they should affect the exercise of immigration control over people connected with the group.754W The inquiries disclose no present grounds for further action.
