HC Deb 19 May 1915 vol 71 cc2361-2W
Sir HENRY NORMAN

asked the Home Secretary whether a woman who has satisfied the police authorities as to her competence and character will be given a licence to drive a taxi-cab in London?

Mr. McKENNA

The Commissioner of Police informs me that he cannot, in present circumstances, recommend the grant of a licence to a woman. The answer to the question is in the negative.
