§ Mr. LANSBURYasked the Home Secretary, whether the promised full inquiry into the conflicting police evidence in the Clapham murder case will be open to the Press and to the public; whether the police officers concerned will be entitled to be represented at the inquiry; and whether the police witnesses will be guaranteed immunity from any retributive consequences of their evidence?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLThe inquiry will be open to the Press, and, so far as the limited accommodation will allow, to the public. The police officers concerned will be represented by counsel. As I have already stated, there is no ground whatever for the suggestion that police witnesses stand in fear of giving truthful evidence.
