HC Deb 29 January 1931 vol 247 c1133
27. Sir NICHOLAS GRATTAN-DOYLE

asked the Home Secretary the nature of the complaints recently made by members of certain ranks of the City of London Police Force; and what action he proposes to take in connection with those complaints?

Mr. CLYNES

The only complaints of which I have any cognisance relate to the administration of discipline affecting an individual, and having regard to the legal and constitutional position, that is not a matter I can deal with on the material at present before me.

Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLE

Does not the right hon. Gentleman's answer mean that all these sensational paragraphs in the Press are very much exaggerated?

Mr. CLYNES

Well, I think that the instance referred to in the question has been the subject of very much exaggeration.
