§ Mr. MORTONasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it is intended that the provisions of the Expenses of Aid to Police Bill are to apply to aid given by His Majesty's naval and military forces or an outside police force on ceremonial occasions such as the forthcoming Coronation and other Royal processions; and, if not, whether, when the Bill is in Committee, he will propose amendments to make this matter clear?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. Churchill)The Bill is expressly limited to emergencies, and would not therefore apply to Royal processions and other ceremonial events for which the necessary provision can be made beforehand.
