HC Deb 09 July 1964 vol 698 cc125-6W
46. Mrs. Butler

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will extend the scope of the Challenor Inquiry to include a report made by Mr. Lionel King in regard to Detective-Sergeant Challenor in August, 1962.

Mr. Brooke

I cannot identify the report to which the hon. Member refers. If she will let me have particulars of it I will certainly consider how far it is relevant to the inquiries being carried out by Mr. Norman Goodchild or to the statutory inquiry which I propose to set up under Section 32 of the Police Act, 1964.

53. Miss Bacon

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will now arrange for the inquiry relating to Detective-Sergeant Challenor to be held in public.

Mr. Brooke

As I said on 2nd July, I should like as much of the inquiry to be held in public as possible, but I cannot reach a final decision until its terms of reference are settled.
