§ Mr. McKENNAThe Order of the Local Government Board, which came into force on 1st April last, has been communicated to all ranks of the Metropolitan police, with an explanatory memorandum; and they will endeavour to enforce it so far as this can be done by persons not possessing technical knowledge. I propose to address a circular on the subject to police forces in England and Wales, and possibly also to communicate with the leading automobile associations.
