HC Deb 10 November 1927 vol 210 c337
14. Major COHEN

asked the Home Secretary whether there is any Regulation which prevents a member of the police force in uniform from wearing a poppy on 11th November; and, if such a Regulation does exist, can he see his way to waiving it on this occasion?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

Permission for the wearing of poppies by constables of the Metropolitan Police in uniform has so far been withheld, and, on the whole, I think it better to retain this rule.
