HC Deb 17 May 1909 vol 5 c181W
Mr. ROWLANDS

asked the Home Secretary whether he will consider the advisability of amending the regulations by which property lost in public vehicles in the metropolitan area is sent direct to Scotland Yard, in order that the lost property may remain in the locality for 48 hours, and a description be sent to Scotland Yard, so that the authorities there would be fully informed should there be an application either personally or by letter?

Mr. GLADSTONE

I do not think that the alteration suggested would be to the public convenience, for reasons which I explained on 14th December last in answer to a question by the hon. Member for the Norwood Division of Lambeth.
