§ 62. Colonel DAYasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department the cost per pair of white gauntlets now worn by the Metropolitan Police Force on point duty; and if the present pattern of gauntlets has been found satisfactory and efficient?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSAn extended trial is being given to a type of white gauntlet costing 2s. 8d. a pair. This has proved the most satisfactory of the types already tried and seems likely to prove entirely suitable.
§ Colonel DAYAre these gauntlets being isued to policemen on point duty all over the metropolitan police area?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSNo, that would be to assume that they are completely successful. But they are being tried on an extensive scale.
