§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why it was necessary to have a large number of police in attendance to arrest and take to Marylebone Police Station John Lennon and Yoko Ono Cox on Friday, 18th October; how many police were so engaged; what is their total wage and salary bill per week or per annum; and why two dogs were used for this arrest, in addition to the police.
§ Mr. CallaghanI understand that four policemen and one policewoman attended the premises to execute a search warrant, that number being considered advisable in the light of the information then before the police. Two dogs specially trained to detect cannabis were brought later by their handlers and helped to search the premises. The weekly wages of the seven officers amount to £178 14s. 7d.
