HC Deb 21 February 1922 vol 150 c1711
44. Mr. MALONE

asked the Home Secretary whether, in view of his statement made in the House on 25th October concerning the great value of police women, he can give an assurance that he will oppose the recommendations of the Geddes Committee to abolish the Metropolitan women patrols?

Mr. SHORTT

I regret that I cannot give the assurance asked for.

Mr. MALONE

Are not these women patrols of great value in protecting the young?

Mr. SHORTT

That is not the question on the Paper.
