HC Deb 04 March 1920 vol 126 cc683-4W
Sir H. BRITTAIN

asked the Home Secretary whether any decision has yet been reached as to the further protection of the police from armed criminals?

Major BAIRD

My right hon. Friend docs not think any alteration is required in the existing Regulations under which police officers who have been sufficiently trained can be equipped with pistols or revolvers if desired when engaged on duty in which they are exposed to danger.
