§ 41. Mr. MAXTON (for Mr. McGOVERN)asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is aware that Chief Constable 358 Keith, of the Lanarkshire Constabulary, asked Mr. Lachlan McDonald, a pensioned and retired police officer of the Glasgow Police Force, to visit the hon. Member for Gorbals at his home and at the Central Station, Glasgow, with a view to demanding that the hon. Member for Shettleston should stop asking questions in Parliament concerning the administration of the Lanarkshire force; and what action he intends to take in this matter?
§ Sir GODFREY COLLINSAs regards the first part of the question, I am informed that the Chief Constable of the Lanarkshire Police Force made no request and gave no instructions to Mr. McDonald to visit the hon. Member for Gorbals (Mr. Buchanan) for the purpose indicated. The last part of the question does not therefore arise.
