HC Deb 19 April 1923 vol 162 c2250
66. Mr. FOOT

asked the Home Secretary how manay local authorities have established, for the police, canteens where intoxicating liquor is supplied?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

I am not in possession of detailed information on this point, but, so far as I am aware, no such canteens have been established by the provincial police authorities. I understand that canteens, registered as clubs, exist in connection with a few provincial police forces, but that these are managed by the members of the force themselves.

Sir H. BRITTAIN

Do hot the police rightly deserve something better than a "Pussyfoot" policy?
