§ Mr. DAYasked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been drawn to the introduction of the pocket radio sets which are carried by the Brighton police for the purpose of receiving instructions and police warnings while they walk along the streets; whether the Metropolitan police authorities have investigated this system; and is it proposed to introduce it in the Metropolis?
§ Mr. LLOYDMy Department have kept in touch with the development of the pocket wireless receiver used by the police in the borough of Brighton, and the Commissioner of Police has studied the possibility of using the apparatus, but he is satisfied that—at any rate at present—it is not suitable for use under the very different conditions obtaining over the much larger area of the Metropolitan Police District.
