HC Deb 25 July 1898 vol 62 cc1151-2
MR. A. H. A. MORTON (Deptford)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, as the ser- geants and constables of the Metropolitan Police are provided with a uniform of a light material for summer wear, he will be good enough to inquire if a similar provision could be made in favour of the inspectors, who are at present obliged to wear both in summer and winter alike the same thick regulation uniform?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT

Inspectors are supplied with a light serge jacket for office wear, and the question whether it can be adapted for outdoor duty as well, during the summer, is being considered.
