HC Deb 14 May 1925 vol 183 c2000
Captain BRASS

asked the Home Secretary what is the system of selection adopted by the Metropolitan police in choosing a particular road on which to set a police trap for motorists?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

Roads are selected for control where the exigencies of the traffic seem to demand it.

Captain BRASS

Will the right hon. Gentleman consider the advisability of publishing where the traps are set?

Mr. MARCH

Can the Home Secretary arrange for someone to walk in front with a red flag?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

I would remind the hon. Member of the saying, "In vain is the net set in sight of any bird."
