§ Mr. BROOKESasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether it is permissible to use the disguise of Army officers' uniforms for the purposes of police detective work; and whether, in view of its derogatory nature, he will cause a cessation of the practice?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI am not prepared to interfere with the discretion of the police authorities in the use of any disguise which may lead to the speedier suppression of crime.
