HC Deb 03 March 1915 vol 70 cc822-3W
Mr. KING

also asked the Secretary of State whether he has considered the granting to men of the Metropolitan Police some badge or medal which will show that their services are retained by the Government during the War, so that on all occasions, such as when taking leave in plain clothes, it may be recognised that they have not had the option of enlisting?

Mr. McKENNA

After consulting the Commissioner of Metropolitan Police, I do not think it would be desirable to adopt this suggestion.
