HC Deb 29 April 1926 vol 194 c2181
17. Sir HARRY BRITTAIN

asked the Home Secretary whether the Metropolitan Police Force is now at full strength: if not, by what amount of men it is below strength; and what is being done so recruit the full number required?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

The force is nearly at full strength, the vacancies being about 90, which can be filled by the normal recruiting arrangements.
