§ 30. Mr. LYLEasked the Home Secretary whether, on the occasions of any great gatherings for the purposes of witnessing sport, any duty rests on the police to ensure that proper provision is made by the promoters to secure public convenience both in entering and leaving; and, if not, whether he will consider what steps can be, or ought to be, taken in that direction?
§ Sir J. BAIRDIt is part of the duty of the police to make provision, when necessary, for maintaining order among persons entering or leaving sports' grounds, but not to supervise the arrangements for admission; that is a matter which must, I think, be left to the promoters.
