HC Deb 27 June 1927 vol 208 cc39-40
64. Colonel DAY

asked the Home Secretary the present total establishment of women police employed in the Metropolitan police area, the districts where these officers are on duty, and the annual cost?

Captain HACKING

There are at present two inspectors, five sergeants and 42 constables of the Women Police employed in the Metropolitan Police District. They are allocated for duty in the various parts of the district as may be required. The total cost of the Women Police for the year 1926–27 was approximately £9,400.

Colonel DAY

Do I understand that these officers have no regular places of duty, but are sent about the West End of London?

Captain HACKING

They are attached to certain districts, but are frequently moved about as necessity arises.
