HC Deb 21 February 1924 vol 169 cc1975-6
51. Sir F. HALL

asked she Prime Minister whether any decision has been come to by the Government to the effect that during the dock strike the police forces are not to be allowed to protect men who might want to work?

Mr. DAVIES

I have been asked to reply. No such decision has been come to.

Sir F. HALL

May I ask whether the hon. Gentleman's attention has been drawn to the statement made at a meeting held on the 15th instant, by one of the Labour Members, to the effect that the police would not be used to assist those desirous of working, and whether we are to understand that the Government do not agree with that policy?

Mr. SPEAKER

That question should come at the end.
