HC Deb 17 September 1931 vol 256 c1002
14. Mr. DAY

asked the Home Secretary what action has been taken by his Department with reference to the recommendation passed by the county chief constables in April last suggesting that the Home Office should set up a national wireless installation for the purpose of circulating details of grave crimes to mobile police squads; and will he give particulars of any arrangements that are being made to further this suggestion?

Sir H. SAMUEL

The whole question of the further development of wireless as an aid to police work is now under review by a conference on which my Department is represented.

Mr. DAY

Will the right hon. Gentleman also consider the methods by which this notification is made in America?

Sir H. SAMUEL

The experts will no doubt have that in mind.
