HC Deb 03 March 1915 vol 70 c788
41. Mr. JOYNSON-HICKS

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether anything can be done to stop the raucous calling of papers in the residential quarters of London after business hours?

The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. McKenna)

The Commissioner of Police reports that his officers have instructions to prevent, so far as possible, newspapers being hawked in such a manner as to be a nuisance to residents and passers-by, and that on the whole their efforts have been successful. They are on the alert to deal with hawkers who offend in this way.

Mr. W. THORNE

What a shame.

Mr. KELLAWAY

May I ask my right hon. Friend whether anything can be done to stop the raucous noises of the hon. Member's motor omnibuses?

Mr. JOYNSON-HICKS

I will do my best.
