§ 44. Mr. H. Butlerasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that eight youth clubs in the Hackney area have reported disturbances and assaults over the past two months; and what police measures he intends to have taken to maintain order in such cases.
§ Sir D. Maxwell FyfeAccording to police records only one youth club in the Hackney area has made such a report to the police during the period in question. As I said in reply to the hon. Member on 22nd November, the police are giving their close attention to the problem of hooliganism. The detailed measures to be taken are a matter for the Commissioner.
