(2) how the Metropolitan Police District is subdivided under the commander of the traffic district for command purposes; what rank of officer is in charge on each subdivision and subsub-division down to the basic traffic warden; and whether commanders of police districts have any place in the line of command.
§ Mr. MayhewThe constituency of Islington, South and Finsbury is in the north-east traffic division. Within the traffic district there are five traffic divisions, each under a chief superintendent.
