§ Mr. Watkinsasked the Home Secretary whether it is proposed to make any further order under Section 3 (3) of the Public Order Act, 1936, prohibiting the holding of political processions in the East End of London?
§ Mr. LloydThe previous order prohibiting the holding of political processions in certain areas in East London expired at midnight on Monday last, the 13th June. After consultation with the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis, my right hon. Friend came to the conclusion that it was necessary, for the preservation of public order in East London, to continue this prohibition for a further period; and he therefore gave his consent to a fresh order under Section 3 (3) of the Public Order Act, 1936, prohibiting the holding of political processions in that area for a further period of three months from the 13th June.
