HC Deb 15 May 1995 vol 260 cc18-9W
Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department who was present at the meeting on 1 December 1994 at which the operational decision was taken to take physical possession of 159 Grove Green road, Leytonstone; and whom they represented. [23545]

Mr. Maclean

I understand that the county court made an order for the possession of this property on 11 July 1994 and that the Metropolitan police were requested to be present on 1 December 1994 when the bailiffs executed the order, to prevent a breach of the peace.

This was an operational matter for the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police.
