§ Major KINDERSLEYDoes the hon. Member think that it is in the public interest that where the police have control of premises, as they presumably have, that they should allow the Press to come in and take these ghoulish pictures and publish them in the newspapers; and will he take steps to see that where the police have control this is not done?
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYIs the hon. Member aware that there have been unseemly scenes at the place of this exhumation by the gathering of large crowds?
