HC Deb 23 May 1963 vol 678 c60W
42. Mr. Grimond

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what instructions are issued to the Metropolitan Police about the prevention of homosexual offences; and if constables are specially assigned to patrol places which it is believed homosexuals frequent.

Mr. Brooke

No special instructions about the prevention of homosexual offences are issued to the Metropolitan Police, but the Commissioner of Police from time to time assigns officers to keep observation at places where there is reason to believe that such offences may be committed.
