The answer is, I think, this: In s far as if involved a security matter they fulfilled their duty by reporting # to the Special Branch. In so far as it involved private morals it would aot be for them to report it to anyone, It would be contrary to our way of thinking that police should be expected to report to the Home Secretary, or indeed to the Prime Minister, anything they happen incidentally to discover affecting the mota! character or behaviour of any individual, including even a Minister of the Crown.
