HC Deb 23 February 1922 vol 150 c2148W
Lord H. CAVENDISH - BENTINCK

asked the Home Secretary whether it has been decided to disband the women patrols division of the Metropolitan Police; and, if so, in view of the long training, character, and experience of this body of police women in the duty of safeguarding public morality, whether he will reconsider this decision?

Mr. SHORTT

The disbandment of the Metropolitan Police Women Patrols has been recommended by the Committee on National Expenditure, and the recommendation is one which I feel bound to carry out.
