§ 36. Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he has considered the communication dated 28th April from the hon. Member for West Ham, North, about a 1608 woman who asked the Metropolitan Police for police protection which was refused on the grounds of lack of police; and whether he will investigate these matters and report his conclusions.
§ Mr. Elystan MorganThe Commissioner of Police tells me that he can find no support for the allegation that police protection was sought, or refused, in the circumstances described in the newspaper report of an anonymous telephone call to which my hon. Friend has directed my attention.
§ Mr. MorganThere is no evidence to suggest that the anonymous telephone call made to the writer of the article in the Sunday Express on 27th April, 1969, has any connection whatever with the murder at Bethnal Green.
