§ 29. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the Home Secretary the annual cost of the Metropolitan mounted police now and pre-War?
§ Mr. CLYNESThe present annual cost of the mounted branch of the Metropolitan Police is approximately £100,000. I regret that I cannot give a corresponding statement of pre-War cost because the mounted police were not then, as they are now, organised in a separate establishment.
§ Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYDoes my right hon. Friend expect any future saving, in view of the establishment of the motor cycle patrol?
§ Mr. CLYNESI will inquire as to what bearing the one may have on the other.
