Mr. L. MALONEasked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that only one official shorthand writer attends the mass meetings of British workers which are being held in Grosvenor Square to protest against the Polish War; that one man is quite incapable of taking a complete verbatim record of the speeches; and whether, in view of the fact that these reports may be required for legal purposes, he will arrange with the Commissioner of the Police for additional shorthand writers, so that a complete record may be obtained, and that, if necessary, the escort of two policemen and four plain-clothes officers, which is provided 2024W for one shorthand writer, should be increased accordingly?
§ Mr. SHORTTI do not propose to interfere with the discretion of the Commissioner of Police in this matter.
