HC Deb 13 July 1925 vol 186 cc885-6W
Colonel DAY

asked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that the installation of police telephone boxes on police beats in Sunderland has proved of assistance to the police of this town, especially as help can be summoned quickly; and will he consider the advisability of recommending the adoption of this system by other police authorities?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

The system in use in Sunderland and other places must be regarded as in the experimental stage, and I am not at present prepared to adopt the course suggested.
