HC Deb 11 December 1958 vol 597 c97W
55. Mr. Skeffington

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that certain police officers have admitted searching premises in the Metropolitan area without warrants: by what authority this was done; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. R. A. Butler

The search to which the hon. Gentleman is no doubt referring was made on the initiative of the officer concerned.
