HC Deb 22 April 1941 vol 371 c32W
Mr. Cary

asked the Home Secretary whether he will consider the advisability of forming a corps of internal security road police which would act under the instructions of the regional commissioners and which would, in the event of grave national emergency, prove of inestimable value in aiding the military authorities to deal with urgent problems likely to arise in regard to the control of road traffic?

Mr. Peake

Regional Commissioners, the military authorities and the police are already working in the closest co-operation in these matters, and the military authorities are assured of the full assistance of the police. My right hon. Friend does not think, therefore, that any useful purpose would be served by the creation of a new organisation for the purpose.
