§ 33. Viscount CURZONasked the Home Secretary whether he will consider providing police constables on point duty with white overalls or oilskins, such as are worn in certain cities in the country?
§ Mr. SHORTTAn improved waterproof suit is being introduced for the use of men on point duty in wet weather. White overalls are not considered suitable for point duty under the conditions of London traffic.
§ Viscount CURZONBefore coming to a final decision in the matter, will the right hon. Gentleman inquire into what 204 is done in the City of Manchester, for instance? I understand the police there wear white overalls when on point duty.
