Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLE

asked the Home Secretary the proportion of police to the population and to the number of registered motor vehicles in 1910, 1920, and 1930?

Mr. SHORT

I understand that no returns of the number of motor vehicles registered in the years mentioned are available, but the following figures for the years 1912, 1921, and 1929 may be taken as approximately correct:

— 1912. 1921. 1929.
Population per Constable 697 674 692
Motor Vehicles Constable 4 14 34

The figures are for Great Britain.
