§ Sir H. BRITTAINasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in view of the difficulty of seeing clearly signals given by members of the police force on point duty at night, any Regulations exist as to the wearing of white gloves or the carrying of a white baton by members of the force so employed; and, if not, whether he will consider putting into force a Regulation on these lines?
Mr. DAVIESWhite gloves are already in use by police performing traffic duty in the interior divisions of the Metropolis, and arrangements have been made to extend the issue to officers so engaged in the outer districts.
