HC Deb 29 November 1984 vol 68 cc545-6W
Mr. D. E. Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will call for a report from the chief constable of Hampshire police as to why Mrs. Tessa Babcock and her 13-year-old daughter Zoe were handed over by police guarding Longmoor base to soldiers.

Mr. Giles Shaw

I shall reply to the hon. Member as soon as possible.

Mr. D. E. Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether any of the people detained at Longmoor camp firing range were subsequently charged.

Mr. Giles Shaw

The chief constable of Hampshire tells me that nobody who was detained at Longmoor camp firing range has yet been charged, although the police are considering the possibility of bringing prosecutions, by way of summons, in some cases.
