§ MR. REGINALD LUCAS (Portsmouth)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Homo Department whether he will consider the propriety of supplying the Metropolitan police with a special head dress during very hot weather.
§ *MR. RITCHIEThe question of supplying the Metropolitan police with a special head dress during very hot weather has been the subject of consideration on many occasions, but it has not been found possible to provide a substitute for the helmet at present in use which would afford better protection from heat and from blows.
