Mr. S. ROBINSON

asked the Home Secretary if he will give the number of police in the Metropolitan area engaged in setting traps for motorists during the Easter holidays; and the number of convictions recorded during that period?

Mr. DAVIES

The total number of police in the Metropolitan Police area specially employed in the detection of motor car offences from 18th to 21st April, 1924, inclusive, was 188, and the number of offences detected by these men was 506, particulars of which I will send to my hon. Friend. I cannot at present give the number of convictions for that period.
