HC Deb 16 November 1920 vol 134 c1691
39. Viscount CURZON

asked the Home Secretary whether any experiments have been carried out with a view to the institution of a special branch of the police force for road traffic mounted on some form of motor vehicle; and, if so, whether he can yet say whether he considers that the formation of such a branch would be desirable from the point of view of economy and efficiency?

Mr. SHORTT

The Commissioner reports that he has this matter under consideration, and hopes to submit a report to me. It requires exhaustive consideration.

Viscount CURZON

Are we to understand that experiments have been carried out?

Mr. SHORTT

Yes, experiments have been carried out.
