asked the Attorney-General whether he has considered a chain letter, a copy of which has been sent to him, which is being sent to Class Z reservists inciting them not to obey their instructions for recall; and what action he proposes taking in the matter.

Yes, Sir. I am examining the position in this matter, which may constitute a conspiracy to cause disaffection among the members of His Majesty's Reserve Forces, but I have not yet decided what, if any, action to take.

Has the right hon. and learned Gentleman made inquiries about the organisers of this chain letter? Is it, perhaps, a Communist run organisation called the Ex-Servicemen's Movement for Peace?

Yes, we have made inquiries into the origin of the matter, and I think it started with a gentleman who is connected with that association and is an official of the "Daily Worker."

What exactly is a chain letter? Is it a letter to the Class Z reservists from the Ministry of Labour?
