HC Deb 08 July 1890 vol 346 c1196

On the Motion for adjournment:—

MR. F. SEAGER HUNT (Marylebone, W.)

May I ask the Home Secretary whether he can give the House any information as to the conduct of the Metropolitan Police?

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

I am happy to inform my hon. Friend that the news I have received this evening from all parts of London is excellent. Not a single man has failed to go out on his duty to night, and the temper and spirit exhibited throughout the Metropolitan Police are admirable.

DR. TANNER (Cork Co., Mid)

Has there been any collusion, any pre-arrangement with reference to this question?

House adjourned at five minutes before One o'clock.
