asked the Home Secretary whether the police intend to forbid the holding of the anti-militarist meeting in Trafalgar Square on 25th May; and, if not, why they have so far refused to sanction such meeting in spite of repeated applications?

My hon. Friend has been entirely misinformed. Only one application has been made to the Commissioner of Police respecting the meeting in question, and the applicant has been informed that the necessary police arrangements would be made.
