§ Mr. Proctorasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he call for a report from the chief constable of the Thames valley police concerning incidents of public disorder which took place at the Queen's club in Colnbrook on 18 June 1983, including the ethnic breakdown of the people involved in the disturbances; and if he will make a statement on the contents of the report.
§ Mr. HurdI understand from the chief constable that at 2 am on Saturday 18 June three police officers were called to the Queen's Club, Colnbrook, where there was fighting among about 50 youths of whom the police estimate that about five were black. The officers persuaded the youths to stop fighting and to leave the premises. They began to fight again about 200 yards from the club, and the officers called by radio for support in dealing with them. About 50 officers responded to the call. Some of the youths threw bricks and stones before the fighting was ended; one woman officer was slightly injured and a police car was damaged. Fourteen people were arrested and released on bail by the police, who are considering what charges, if any, should be brought.
