HC Deb 21 November 1963 vol 684 cc119-20W
47. Mr. Berkeley

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will appoint an independent public inquiry to investigate the conduct of the police at the West End Central Police Station, Savile Row, in the light of the Woolf case and the "half bricks case".

Mr. Brooke

I am considering the Woolf case in the light of the judgment of the High Court on the application for a fresh inquest on Mr. Woolf. I have asked the Commissioner of Police for some further information. When I have received his report, I will make a statement.

As regards the "half bricks case", I would refer my hon. Friend to my reply to the hon. Members for Barking (Mr. Driberg) and Wood Green (Mrs. Butler).
