HC Deb 11 May 1989 vol 152 c524W
22. Mr. Mullin

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he has raised with the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis the influence of freemasonry in the Metropolitan police.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

My right hon. Friend discussed the matter at length with the Commissioner. There is no evidence that freemasonry has influenced Metropolitan police officers either in the execution of their duties or in the internal management of the force.
