MR. ELLIOTasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, If it is correct that the City Police, and the County Police of most of the Home Counties, are being instructed in ambulance drill and "first aid to the injured," and that the drill of the Metropolitan Police in such matters has been discontinued; and, if so, what is the reason of such discontinuance. Is it owing to expense?
MR. ASSHETON CROSS, in reply, said, he understood instruction was not discontinued, though a change had been made in the mode of giving it. Last year it was undertaken by the divisional surgeons, and it was still given, though by different persons.
