HC Deb 16 February 1994 vol 237 c805W
Mr. Madden

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) what reports he has received from the chief constable of West Yorkshire about police action being taken to stop Combat 18 from issuing publications inciting the public to make nuisance telephone calls;

(2) what representations he has received about the activities and leadership of Combat 18; what complaints have been made under the Public Order Act or other legislation against Combat 18; what reports he has received about publications, issued by Combat 18, inciting the public to cause a nuisance against listed individuals and organisations; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Charles Wardle

My right hon. and learned Friend has received no reports from the Chief Constable of West Yorkshire Police about Combat 18. I understand that the Chief Constable has received a letter from the hon. Member and that he will be investigating the complaint it contains. The West Yorkshire Police have received no other complaints. My right hon. and learned Friend has received 10 representations from hon. Members, and a number of letters from the general public about the undesirable activities of Combat 18.
