§ Mr. TOUCHEasked the Home Secretary if he is aware that, at a further meeting held in Trafalgar Square on 10th November, a resolution was passed affirming the opinion that it is in the public interests that a public inquiry be held into the Metropolitan police administration, and the methods, discipline, and treatment of police officers; that allegations of a serious character were again made at the 512W meeting; are there records at Scotland Yard which would show these allegations to be false; and, if so, will he cause those records to be laid upon the Table of the House or made the subject of an independent inquiry and report?
§ Mr. McKENNAI understand that there was a repetition by a dismissed police officer at a meeting in Trafalgar Square on 10th November of wholly unfounded allegations which do not call for notice. I am satisfied that the allegations disclose no ground for any inquiry, and I do not propose to lay Papers on the Table of the House.
