§ Sir C. COBBasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the need for the re-establishment of the women police force on a more, effective and numerically larger basis in the Metropolitan district is receiving consideration; whether the Home Office is contemlilating any steps to supply the need; and whether arrangements are being made to remove the whole of the present Metropolitan force of women police (20 members) from their present duties at the opening of the forthcoming British Empire Exhibition at Wembley in April next., and to utilise their services within the exhibition, thus leaving the Metropolitan district without women police officers?
Mr. DAVIESAs regards the first two farts of the question, I would refer to the reply which I gave to-day to the hon. Member for Leith (Captain Benn). As regards the last part of the question, the answer is in the negative.
