HC Deb 06 July 1966 vol 731 c73W
Mr. Thorpe

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will experiment with the installation of warning bells in police stations in the Metropolitan area so that householders may give notice of emergencies to the police in the same way as is available in the case of fire.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

No. I am not satisfied that such a system would offer any improvement over the 999 system operated by the G.P.O.
