HC Deb 23 March 1976 vol 908 c114W
Mr. George Cunningham

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department in respect of how many sets of circumstances the orders and regulations of the Metropolitan Police, as approved by the Home Secretary under the Act of 1829, give guidance to police commanders that prosecutions should not be brought, comparable to that given with regard to events arising from neighbours' feuds.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

Any such guidance would not require my approval under Section 5 of the Metropolitan Police Act 1829.

Mr. George Cunningham

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the orders and regulations of the Metropolitan Police approved under Section 5 of the Metropolitan Police Act 1829 during January 1976 were examined personally by a Minister.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

All approvals under this section are given on my responsibility.
