HC Deb 08 October 1940 vol 365 cc266-7W
Mr. Parker

asked the Home Secretary whether a general increase will now be made in the number of women police in view of the many problems arising from air-raids and other war-time questions?

Mr. H. Morrison

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which my predecessor gave to Questions on this subject on 22nd August. I have no doubt that the review which he asked police authorities to undertake will result in an increase in the number of policewomen and women police auxiliaries employed, but I am not in a position, as yet, to give any detailed particulars.
