SCOPE OF SCOTLAND YARD INQUIRY. QUESTION IN THE COMMONS. LIBEL WRITS ISSUED. United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, June 5. In the House of Commons, asked whether the forthcoming police inquiry would include the methods of the provincial as well as the metropolitan police, the Home Secretary (Sir William JoynsonHicks) said he thought that, the objects of the inquiry would be best attainable by means of an inquiry as to the metropolitan police practice of conducting interrogations in the course of criminal investigations. Mr. W. Lunn (Lab.) said that it would be better'to have an inquiry of a general nature covering the whole of the country, rather than a piecemeal one. Sir W. Joynson Hicks: “I will consider the point in connection with the terms of reference.” In reply to other questions, • the Home Secretary said that the police witnesses in the Chiozza Money case, with the Commissioner’s permission, had issued writs of libel against a certain periodical.
