Capt. Archibald H. M. Ramsay, pro-fascist and anti-Semitic member of Parliament will be released from detention, it was announced today by Home Minister Sir Herbert Morrison. Ramsay was arrested in May, 1940, when the government rounded up fascist leader Sir Oswald Mosley and other suspect elements under the amended emergency defense regulations.
During his four-and-half years of detainment Ramsay has flooded Commons with letters attacking the Jews for one reason or another. Since he retained his seat despite his arrest, the government was forced on several occasions to take note of his charges and to reply to them.
