HC Deb 16 May 1906 vol 157 c498
LORD R. CECIL

asked when the Prime Minister proposed to introduce the Bill setting up the Royal Commission on the Action and Regulations of the Metropolitan Police, and whether it would contain the names of the members of the Commission and the terms of reference.

SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

The Bill requires to be drafted before it is introduced, but the drafting is well advanced. I cannot name any day for its introduction, nor can I now state the names of the members of the Commission. The terms of reference will be the words used by myself in answer to the Question that was put to me.
