HC Deb 02 May 1963 vol 676 c139W

51. Brigadier Clarke

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will take steps to ban all Sunday meetings, marches and demonstrations in London other than religious ones, in order to give reasonable rest and holidays to the police forces.

Mr. Brooke

No. In any case there is no power to do this under existing legislation.
