§ MR. SALTasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether, as the contribution from the Consolidated Fund towards the cost of the County Police is about to be doubled, he will propose some improved regulations with respect to the enlistment, the resignation, and the superannuation allowances of the men of that Force?
MR. ASSHETON CROSS, in reply, said, it would be necessary, when the 1494 amount was given to the Police out of Imperial Funds, to take care that there should not be an increase of expenditure on the Police Force. The question of improved regulations with respect to the enlistment, the resignation, and the superannuation allowances of the foreswore at present under the serious consideration of the Government, with a view to increase its efficiency.
