§ Sir W. de FRECEasked the Home Secretary whether the Home Office has issued any advice to the police authorities on the subject of the grant of occasional licences for boxing tournaments; and whether police authorities, in opposing such grants, are reflecting official views?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSI cannot find that any advice on this subject has been issued by my Department, and I am informed that no such opposition has in fact been offered by the Metropolitan Police.
