HC Deb 19 April 1923 vol 162 c2325W
Mr. SHORT

asked the Attorney-General whether it is on the instructions of the Director of Public Prosecutions that the chief constable of Birmingham sends plain-clothes officers to attend labour meetings held in Birmingham with orders to report the speeches delivered?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

I have been asked to reply to this question. The director informs me that the answer is in the negative.
