HC Deb 02 August 1897 vol 52 c103
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is able to state when the S Division of the Metropolitan Police will be supplied with the new loose serge jacket.

SIR MATTHEW WHITE RIDLEY

Two-thirds of the number required for this Division were supplied on the 19th July, and the remainder will be delivered to-morrow and on Wednesday. I hope that every man in the Metropolis will be fitted with the serge tunic within a week.
