HC Deb 19 July 1888 vol 328 c1752
MR. CUNNINGHAME GRAHAM (Lanark, N.W.)

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, If the Metropolitan Police have orders to eject persons from the roadways and steps of houses surrounding Trafalgar Square; and, if he can state the precise limits of the space from which the police have orders to remove the public?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. MATTHEWS) (Birmingham, E.)

The police have no orders to eject persons from the places named. Their duty is to carry out the Police Order referring to Trafalgar Square, and to prevent obstruction and disorder from occurring in the Square, or in any thoroughfare or public place near the Square, or elsewhere.
