§ Mr. Parkinasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department on what occasions during the last 20 years police under the control of his Department have forbidden access to the Palace of Westminster to people having appointments to see their Member of Parliament.
§ Major Lloyd-GeorgeI can find no record of any occasion on which the police have forbidden access to citizens having appointments to see their Member in the Palace of Westminster. On 31st January, 1939, and on 25th January, 1955, the police, in pursuance of their obligations under the Sessional Order, dispersed a disorderly and obstructive crowd of demonstrators, many of whom said that they wished to interview their Member of Parliament.
