HC Deb 21 February 1890 vol 341 c888
MR. CUNINGHAME GRAHAM

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if his attention has been called to the alleged interference by the police with "pickets" during the recent dock strike and the gas stokers strike; and whether, in so doing, they were acting under orders, or on their individual responsibility?

MR. MATTHEWS

My attention has not been called to any particular alleged interference by the police with pickets during the recent dock strike or gas strike. If the hon. Member will put a question on the Paper specifying date and place I will make any further inquiry that he may desire.
