HC Deb 28 July 1908 vol 193 cc1190-1
MR. T. F. RICHARDS

To ask the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that a Mr. Thomas Davies, whilst wearing the Territorial uniform, disturbed a public meeting at Brecon on 12th June, 1908, assisted by others also attired in uniform, this meeting being addressed by a Mr. Pattison, of Ruskin College, Oxford, and not by a lady, as the right hon. Gentleman has been informed; whether he is aware that a second meeting held on 16th June, with the Territorials absent, was conducted without any disturbance; whether he is aware that a third meeting was held on 19th June, 1908, and addressed by a Mrs. Keating Hill, of Cardiff, was again interrupted by Territorials led on by Mr. Thomas Davies as before-mentioned, and, although this gentleman was allowed five minutes, during which he addressed the meeting, he afterwards continued to upset the meeting; and what action does he intend to take in the matter.

(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) I have no information regarding the meetings of 12th and 16th June, and I am awaiting a full Report. The meeting of 19th June was dealt with in my previous Answer to the hon. Member, to which I have nothing to add.
