HC Deb 01 May 1873 vol 215 c1299
SIR JOSEPH BAILEY

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether he has sanctioned the arrangement by which the offices of Chief Constable and Superintendent of Police have been united in the county of Radnor; and if the course adopted is approved by the late Chief Constable of that county?

MR. BRUCE,

in reply, said, that there were 16 constables in the county of Radnor, and he had granted an application for uniting the offices of Chief Constable and Superintendent of Police. The step seemed to him to be reasonable, and he had not thought it necessary to ask the opinion of the former Chief Constable.
