87. Mr. MARSHALL HALLasked the Home Secretary whether he will consider the advisability of increasing the numbers of the Metropolitan Police Force to enable a larger staff of men to be available for regulation of the vehicular traffic, especially at points which are dangerous to pedestrians?
§ Mr. McKENNAThe regulation of vehicular traffic is a matter that is always receiving careful attention, and additions are made from time to time, as the necessity arises, to the number of men employed on traffic duty.
Mr. ALAN SYKESHave not complaints been made with regard to the crossings outside this House that there are hardly sufficient men to control the traffic?
§ Mr. McKENNAThe complaints have not reached me, nor have I observed any difficulty in crossing. I shall be happy to attend to any complaints that may be made.
