HC Deb 23 November 1916 vol 87 cc1637-8W
Mr. CORY

asked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that the promoters of the pacifist conference recently broken up at Cardiff propose attempting to hold a similar meeting in South Wales, namely, at Merthyr, on 9th December; and whether, having regard to the probability of renewed disorder, he will cause the prohibition of the meeting if advised by the local police authorities that the public peace will be in danger?

Mr. SAMUEL

Any decision in such a matter must depend on the nature of the application made to me and the information given in support of it. I have not received any such application in regard to the meeting in question.
