Motion made, and Question proposed, That it is expedient that a Tribunal be established for inquiring into a definite matter of urgent public importance, that is to say, the allegations made against certain officers of the Metropolitan Police in connection with the recent arrest of Major R, O. Sheppard, D.S.O., R.A.O.C." —[Colonel Gibbs.]

I have no desire to object to this Motion, but I think it my duty to say it is lacking in respect to the House that no representative of the Home Office is present.
