§ Sir WILLIAM DAVISON(by Private Notice) asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention has been called to a serious case of highway robbery in Kensington during the second week in October, when a Mr. and Mrs. Reid, who were returning from the Motor Show to their home in Warwick Gardens, were set upon by a gang, robbed of money and valuables and received serious personal injuries; whether it is a fact that no police were within call; and whether he is satisfied as to the adequacy of the police force for the protection of residents in this part of Kensington from highway robbery in the future?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Sir William Joynson-Hicks)My attention had not been drawn previously to this case, but I am having inquiry made, and I will communicate with my hon. Friend.
