HC Deb 25 February 1929 vol 225 c1575
71. Mr. DAY

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that in Leeds and other provincial centres constables on point duty during the recent cold spell have been supplied with hot coffee; and can he state whether any similar arrangements exist within the Metropolitan Police area?

Sir V. HENDERSON

At the commencement of the recent severe weather special instructions were issued with regard to the relief of officers performing traffic duty and those posted at exposed points, but no special arrangements were made for the supply of hot coffee.

Mr. DAY

Can the Under-Secretary say how much relief was given to officers during the intense cold?

Sir V. HENDERSON

Not without notice.
