HC Deb 03 December 1925 vol 188 cc2486-7
35. Brigadier-General BROOKE

asked the Home Secretary whether he has communicated to the authorities controlling the police outside London, as well as to the Metropolitan Police, the instructions issued as to the facilities for communicating between arrested prisoners and their friends; and, if not, whether he will take such action without delay?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

The position of the provincial police forces differs in many respects from that of the Metropolitan Police, but I propose to take the first convenient opportunity of addressing a communication to them on several points arising out of the recent inquiry.
