HC Deb 27 March 1963 vol 674 c1289
Mr. Emrys Hughes

On a point of order. I wish to raise a point of order about rights of access to this House and the safety of Members. I understand that yesterday there was some difficulty outside and that a very large number of police, including mounted police, were here to protect Members against a deputation which included some of my constituents. I should like to have an assurance that today we can be guaranteed some protection against the lobbying deputation from infuriated schoolteachers, and I should like to ask whether you are satisfied, Mr. Speaker, that there are sufficient police precautions, including sufficient mounted police, and, if necessary Scots Guards, to protect Members against any possibility of danger.

Mr. Speaker

I have no reason to think that there is any deficiency in the Sessional Order to the carrying of which the hon. Member was a party.
