§ Colonel DAYasked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been called to a statement made at the National Council of the Women's Conference held at Bournemouth, to the effect that no definite instructions have been issued by the Home Office as to the employment of women police; and will he consider giving some definite lead to the police authorities on this subject?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSI have seen some Press reports of the discussion referred to and have received representations from the National Council, but I do not see my way at present to add to the circular already issued to the police authorities on the subject.
