§ 90. Mr. Fisherasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will arrange for the recruitment and training of additional traffic wardens, including West Indians, and more women wardens, to deal with minor traffic offences and so release the police for more important work.
§ Mr. George ThomasTraffic wardens already deal with a number of minor offences, and police authorities responsible for recruiting and training traffic wardens are encouraged to employ them wherever this would release police officers for other duties. Women are already being employed as traffic wardens on an increasing scale. West Indians are eligible for appointment, but I have no information about the number appointed.
