HC Deb 30 March 1922 vol 152 c1578W
Lieut.-Colonel FREMANTLE

asked the Home Secretary whether he can give a-list of trained temporary police matrons; by whom they are trained, and where, and what is the length of the course and what the subjects of instruction?

Mr. SHORTT

There is no special course of training. The duties can be quickly learned by any intelligent woman, and all the matrons are fully competent to perform the duties required of them. I do not think it would serve any useful purpose to give a list of all the women who are employed from time to time in this capacity.
