HC Deb 23 November 1933 vol 283 cc241-2
10. Mr. MANDER

asked the Home Secretary if he will consider the advisability of introducing a standard identification for plain-clothes police, having on the cover the word Police in chromium or some metal clearly visible in the dark?

Sir. J. GILMOUR

I do not know of any necessity for a change of this kind.

Mr. MANDER

Will the right hon. Gentleman inquire into the possibility of greater uniformity in this subject in view of the various systems that are in operation?

Sir. J. GILMOUR

We have a committee sitting, and no doubt they will consider it.

Mr. MANDER

Will the right hon. Gentleman be good enough to ask the committee to consider this matter?

Mr. CHARLES WILLIAMS

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that this matter is causing great discomfort to some people who do not quite know where they are?
