HC Deb 06 March 1882 vol 267 c184
MR. STANLEY LEIGHTON

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether he will lay upon the Table of the House the Correspondence which has passed between himself and the Court of Quarter Sessions of the county of Flint, in reference to the payment of the extraordinary expenses incurred by them in providing additional constables to protect the First Lord of the Treasury; and, whether he will state the number of warnings, respecting the necessity of protecting public servants, which he has caused to be addressed to other local authorities?

SIR WILLIAM HARCOURT

Sir, I should be happy to give the hon. Member any Papers I possibly can. The communications from the Flint Court of Quarter Sessions will be given if the hon. Member moves for them; but the police communications cannot be given.

MR. STANLEY LEIGHTON

The number of men?

SIR WILLIAM HARCOURT

I could not do that; the subject is of a confidential nature.
