89. Mr. Piratin

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many police were on duty at Tottenham Hotspur Football Club on Saturday, 7th February; how much was paid by the Tottenham Hotspur Football Club for the services of these police; and how much was paid by Sir Oswald Mosley for the 39 police provided him on the same day.

Mr. Ede

Fifty-six police officers were employed on 7th February on special duty at a cost of £69 to, the Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, and in addition 40 officers at no cost to the club on police duty outside the ground. No police were provided for Sir Oswald Mosley and accordingly no question arises of any payment by him for the police employed on duty at or near his meeting of the same date.
