HL Deb 17 March 1999 vol 598 c106WA
Lord Exmouth

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Under what authority officers of the police were able to undertake covert raids throughout the British Isles on so-called "neo-Nazi" members of the group known as Chapter 18. [HL1478]

Lord Hoyle

I assume that the noble Lord's question refers to the search warrants executed against members of the group known as Combat 18 on Friday, 5 March. The warrants were granted to the Metropolitan Police by Bow Street Magistrates Court to search for material contravening Part III of the Public Order Act 1986.
