HC Deb 11 June 1934 vol 290 cc1340-1
37. Mr. ANSTRUTHER-GRAY

asked the Home Secretary whether he is satisfied from reports received of the initial performances of the rodeo at the White City that no action is called for on the part of his Department?

Sir J. GILMOUR

I understand that a report of the opening performance has been submitted to the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis and is now under consideration.

Mr. ANSTRUTHER-GRAY

Is my right hon. Friend aware that an otherwise thoroughly sporting performance was slightly impaired by two steers galloping into a gate and hurting themselves, and, in view of the fact that the performances would not be materially affected by having this gate open instead of shut, will my right hon. Friend draw the attention of the management to this point?

Sir J. GILMOUR

I have not yet had the opportunity of reading the report of the Commissioner; when I have I will consider that point.
