§ 78. Mr. Victor Yatesasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he has examined the Report of Superintendent Machent concerning allegations made against the Birmingham Police; if he will make a statement; and if he will now publish the report.
§ Sir F. SoskiceI have a copy of this report, and am considering in the light of it representations which I have received about the convictions of certain persons named in it. It has never been the practice to publish reports of police investigations.
