Contrary to Regulations

A London magistrate called up two defendants in Bow Street police court one day last week. The first was Private Anthony Walter Plant, 19, of the 2nd Battalion of the Coldstream Guards. The second was Ian Douglas Harvey. Conservative Member of Parliament for Harrow East and Joint Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Foreign Office, the third top Foreign Office post. Both were charged with "committing an act of gross indecency with another male person" in St. James Park, next to the government offices in Whitehall. Additionally, they were accused of "behaving in a manner reasonably likely to offend against public decency, contrary to the St. James and Green Parks' regulations." The Foreign Office had suffered no such embarrassing accusation since the days of Burgess and Maclean.
