HC Deb 28 June 1928 vol 219 c675
14. Lieut.-Colonel WATTS-MORGAN

asked the Home Secretary whether he makes Regulations laying down conditions under which the members of a county or borough police force may demand the right to attend and be present at a meeting of members convened under the auspices and control of a recognised branch of a registered trade union organisation established in this country; and the purport of such Regulations?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

I have made no such Regulations.

Lieut.-Colonel WATTS-MORGAN

May I assume that the police have no right to attend a private meeting of an organised branch of any trade union?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

I do not think that they have any such right unless they are asked by the chairman to come in.
