§ 25. Mr. H. Hyndasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why mounted police were sent into the crowd attending the Fascist meeting in Hertford Road, Hackney, last Saturday.
§ Mr. EdeI am informed that part of the crowd was disorderly and mounted police as well as foot police were used for the purpose of dispersing it and restoring order.
§ Mr. A. Evansasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why a Fascist meeting, which disturbed the peace, was allowed to be held in Camden Road, Islington, on Saturday last.
§ Mr. EdeNo political meeting was in fact held in the road in question on the 1st May but the procession of the Union Movement ended its march there and immediately dispersed. Some disturbance was caused by the throwing of missiles at the marchers as they broke up.
§ Mr. A. Evansasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he has received a report from the Commissioner of Police about the Fascist demonstration in Islington last Saturday; and whether he has any statement to make 145W about the possibility of future incidents of this kind.
§ Mr. EdeI would refer to the answer given today to a question by my hon. Friend the Member for Central Hackney (Mr. H. Hynd).
