HC Deb 26 November 1888 vol 331 cc147-8
MR. CUNNINGHAME GRAHAM (Lanark, N.W.)

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, If he can state why the Police Rules of Wednesday night last were signed by Sir Charles Warren, seeing that he is no longer Commissioner? The hon. Gentleman also asked, whether it was true that Mr. Monro had been appointed Commissioner of Police?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. MATTHEWS) (Birmingham, E.)

Although Sir Charles Warren has sent in his resignation of the office of Commissioner of Police, he has not yet been relieved from the responsibility of the office; and, therefore, properly continues to discharge its functions. No successor has yet been appointed to Sir Charles Warren?
