§ 8. Mr. BRIANTasked the Home Secretary if a report on women police has been presented to him by the Commissioner of Police for the Metropolitan area; and whether it will shortly be issued?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSInformation regarding the work of the women police will be included as usual in the Commissioner's next Annual Report, which I hope may be ready far issue in the course of the next few weeks.
§ Mr. BRIANTHas this report been issued to the Press yet?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSNo, it is not ready yet. As soon as it is ready it will be issued.
§ Mr. BRIANTMay I take it, then, that the reports in the Press as to the adverse nature of the recommendations are incorrect?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSThe hon. Member has perhaps learned enough not to take everything that appears in the Press as gospel.
