21. Mr. LEWIS

asked the Home Secretary whether he is now in a position to make a statement as to the Government's intentions with regard to the restriction of the wearing of uniforms by members of political organisations?

22. Mr. V. ADAMS

asked the Home Secretary whether he has any statement to make with regard to legislation dealing with the provocative wearing of political uniforms?

The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Sir John Gilmour)

This matter has continued to engage my attention but I regret that I am not in a position to state whether legislation on this subject will form a part of the Government's legislative programme for next Session.

Mr. ANSTRUTHER-GRAY

Is it proposed to hold any further conversations with the leaders of the Opposition on this matter?

Sir J. GILMOUR

No doubt further conversations may take place.

Mr. V. ADAMS

Can the right hon. Gentleman in the meantime tell us how much the Italian buffoonery in Hyde Park cost the ratepayers in extra police protection?
