If a police force sends for reinforcements from other forces, it will come to an arrangement as to the cost of the operation. I hope that my hon. Friend will not press me to disclose the plans that have been made to ensure that there will be plenty of reinforcements available wherever trouble breaks out, because I think that if I were to disclose these plans it might encourage certain youngsters to see whether they can circumvent them.
I hope, from what my hon. Friend said in the last part of his supplementary question, that he will thoroughly approve of the Bill which I hope to present tomorrow, which will substantially increase both the compensation that can be made payable by the court and the fine which the court, if it thinks fit, can inflict.
