Goodrich, of Hackney, in London, last night called on Home Secretary cames Chuter Ede and submitted a resolution calling for an end to the policy of providing fascist and anti-Semitic public meetings with massed police protection. Later, the MP’s said that they had not received satisfaction.
The National Council for Civil Liberties has requested that Ede receive a delocation to discuss the “subject of the resurgence of fascist activity, with special reference to the first public appearance of Sir Oswald Mosley (pre-war British fasdist leader) last Saturday.”
