HC Deb 24 October 1963 vol 682 cc242-3W
Mr. Driberg

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if he will arrange for an independent investigation of the circumstances in which a number of persons were charged with having pieces of brick in their possession during the demonstrations of protest against the Greek royal visit, and in particular of the reasons for the withdrawal of the prosecution in some of these cases; and if he will make a full report on this matter to Parliament.

Mr. Brooke

I have asked the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis for a report on these cases. I will consider in the light of his report what further statement should be made.
