HC Deb 17 July 1969 vol 787 c160W
82. Mr. Parker

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware of the hooliganism on late night trains on the District Line out to Upminster particularly at weekends; and whether he will refer this matter to the conference of Home Office, Metropolitan Police and employers' and union representatives.

Mr. Callaghan

The Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis tells me that the Metropolitan police are doing all they can to help the British Transport police to cope with these incidents. I do not at present contemplate a further discussion on the lines explained in my reply to a Question by my hon. Friend the Member for Harrow, East (Mr. Roebuck) on 3rd July, but I shall continue to watch the position.—[Vol. 786, c. 128.]
