PUBLIC ORDER AND THE POLICE. A report on the events in Trafalgar Square Sunday 17th to Monday 18th September. 1961
Description
"This report on the handling of the demonstration called by the "Committee of 100" on September 17, 1961, in Trafalgar Square, is published because it would appear at certain times the police overstepped their powers in the way in which they dealt with demonstrators and individual citizens in there area at that time Furthermore the preventative measures taken by the authorities were in our view unnecessary and unwise; the council is anxious that this occasion should not set a precedent for the use of such methods and measures to deal with or prevent future assemblies.
