The Home Secretary: All I entrejus say at the moment la fegret the occurrences, and I hope they will not be repeated.

Mr. Thorne: Has the right hon. gentleman no Information as to whether the heads of the Universi- tles are going to take action? The Home Secretary:. I have no information at present.

Colonel Day: For the protection of the public, will the right hon. gentleman take the trouble to com- municate with the heads of the Universities to see that this dis graceful conduct does not ocour again?..

The Home Becretary: I must ask the hon. member to leave the matter for the moment.
