HC Deb 12 July 1973 vol 859 c391W
23. Mr. Bishop

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is aware that the policy of recruiting mounted police women is being discontinued by the Metropolitan Police; and whether, in view of the policy of Her Majesty's Government being against discrimination on grounds of sex, he will ask the Commissioner for a report.

Mr. Carlisle

There has been no change of policy. The recent newspaper report suggesting there had been was without foundation.
