HC Deb 21 March 1907 vol 171 cc852-3
MR. FIENNES (Oxfordshire, Banbury)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if there are licensed houses in certain parts of London known to the police by the names of the cow houses and cow sheds; and, if so, whether he can state the reason given by the police for these names.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. Gladstone, Leeds, W.)

The terms referred to are not police terms, and I am afraid I cannot enter into the question of their meaning.

In reply to a further Question by Mr. Fiennes, Mr. GLADSTONE said the hon. Member apparently understood the usual meaning of the phrase known to the police.
