HC Deb 06 July 1896 vol 42 c797
MR HOGAN

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether he has satisfied himself that the further offensive exhibition of sacred emblems is effectually guarded against in the new code of regulations for the Royal parks; and whether he can see his way to introducing a more specific and precise prohibition of this particular offence into the amended regulations?

*THE FIRST COMMISSIONER OF WORKS (Mr. A. AKERS-DOUGLAS,) Kent, St. Augustine's

said he was requested by the Home Secretary to say that the new rules would be laid upon the Table in due course. They had been settled with the Law Officers of the Crown with the view to meet notorious abuses, to one of which the hon. Member had referred. The new rules, taken together with the law as it stands, would in the opinion of the legal authorities, meet the requirements of the case.
