asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department on how many occasions, since the beginning of 1934, the Metropolitan Police have submitted reports on meetings of Members of Parliament and others in a Committee Room of the House of Commons.

The Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis informs me that it has for very many years been the practice not to pursue police inquiries within the precincts of the House of Commons other than at the request of the House authorities or of hon. Members.
