§ 22. Mr. STRAUSSasked the Home Secretary whether only uniform police are employed to control motor traffic; and, if not, in what circumstances plain-clothes policemen are employed for this purpose?
§ Sir H. SAMUELI am glad to have this opportunity of removing a misapprehension which appears to exist in some quarters that plain-clothes police are used to stop motor vehicles. The police employed for this purpose in the Metropolitan Police district are always in uniform, and I understand that the same practice obtains in the county and borough forces.
