HC Deb 11 November 1937 vol 328 cc1835-6
54. Mr. Day

asked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that some county women police use motor cycles for the purpose of their duty; and whether it is proposed to supply motor cycles to the women police in the outskirts of the Metropolitan Police area?

Sir S. Hoare

I am aware that policewomen use motor vehicles when on duty in one or two of the provincial forces, but the Commissioner of Police does not contemplate their use in the Metropolitan Police District.

Mr. Day

Can the Minister say what success has attended their use?

Sir S. Hoare

I could not do so without making further inquiries.
