§ MR. J. ROWLANDS (Finsbury, E.)asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether his attention has been drawn to the increase of street robberies in the parish of St. Luke's; and, whether he will take steps to afford the necessary protection of the parishioners?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. MATTHEWS) (Birmingham, E.)I am informed by the Chief Commissioner of Police that complaints have recently been received by him on this matter, and they are now being inquired into. I have no doubt that the Commissioner will do all that is necessary for the proper protection of the public.
