DescriptionMaterial regarding Oswald Mosley, a prominent fascist in the UK, and the Union Movement, a far-right political party in the UK founded by Mosley. The material appears to have been collected by Maurice Orbach, General Secretary of the Trades Advisory Council (TAC) from 1940 to 1979, for his 'Fascist activities' files. One clipping has been annotated with 'for fascist activities file'. This material consists of:

- press cuttings regarding organising in the UK by Mosley and the Union Movement, and anti-fascist and Communist actions to disrupt their meetings;
- booklets, leaflets, and circulars from Mosley and the Union Movement;
- anti-fascist leaflets;
- one letter to the TAC from the Anti Defamation League in New York;
- a draft article by Maurice Orbach, General Secretary of the TAC at the time, on fascism in the UK.
