HC Deb 19 February 1920 vol 125 cc1089-90W
Sir H. BRITTAIN

asked the Home Secretary whether, in view of the crimes with violence which have been recently committed, and which have resulted in grievous injuries to police constables on duty, he will consider the advisability of providing the Police Force with some- thing more effective than wooden truncheons?

Mr. SHORTT

The matter is under consideration.
