Is my right hon. Friend aware that it was reported that several hon. Members were roughly handled before a sufficiency of police arrived? Is he further aware that, although no hon. Member on this side of the House wishes to curtail the right of a Socialist, young or old, to demonstrate against injustices, none the less this incident happened within an area in which political demonstrations had been expressly forbidden under the authority of a Sessional Order of this House? Will he ensure that the Metropolitan Police act in liaison with the officials of Transport House in order to ensure that a sufficiency of police will be able to prevent rioting on future occasions when members of the Socialist Party are due to be expelled on doctrinal grounds?
