§ Mr. Eckersleyasked the Home Secretary whether he can provide a list of the damages awarded against members of the Metropolitan police in civil actions during the past five years?
§ Sir S. HoareThe records kept are in such form that considerable labour would be involved in obtaining the information for which my hon. Friend asks. The records for the past two years have, however, been examined, but during that period no case can be traced in which damages have been awarded against a member of the Metropolitan Police Force in a civil action arising out of his duty as a police officer.
