§ Mr. GapesTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on the activities of Combat 18; and what plans he has to ban the organisation.
§ Mr. Charles WardleThe Government deplore the activities of any group which advocates violence. The police are well aware of the activities of Combat 18 and any alleged attacks or intimidation should be reported to them. There are no statutory powers to proscribe organisations in Great Britain other than in the special circumstances provided for in the Prevention of Terrorism Act.
