  3. Sir Waldron Smithers asked Parliament about the number of cases per week in the Metropolitan Police area that involved ‘footpads in London causing grievous bodily harm to citizens’ on 16 July 1942. There are several websites available that index Hansard. One of the easier to use is at http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/. Typing ‘footpads’ into the search field returns a small number of matches, the first of which is Sir Waldron’s Parliamentary question.
  4. The Parliamentary Agents responsible for the private Milford Haven Port Authority Bill which received Royal Assent on 7 November 2002 were Sharpe Pritchard.
