asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the new police procedure of keeping lists of sensitive premises occupied by minority groups will apply to the National Front, the Communist parties, Trotskyist organisations and other such minority and front organisations.

The police have always taken special precautions in respect of certain premises and localities where it is in the interests of effective law enforcement to do so. Such places are identified by the police on the basis of operational judgments, not by focussing on particular organisations.
