HC Deb 31 July 1936 vol 315 c1884W
Mr. CREECH JONES

asked the Home Secretary whether he will furnish a list of cases setting out the prosecutions which the police have instituted against persons who have used at political meetings insulting words and behaviour whereby a breach of the peace might have been occasioned?

Mr. LLOYD

Particulars are not available for the whole country. I am informed that during the period from 1st January to 3rd July there were 46 cases in which charges of this kind were preferred in respect of incidents arising out of public meetings in the Metropolitan Police District.
