HC Deb 16 April 1883 vol 278 c318
MR. STANLEY LEIGHTON

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether it is proposed to establish a special body of police for the prevention of crime against the public safety; and, if so, whether the cost of its maintenance will be defrayed out of the taxes and not out of the rates?

SIR WILLIAM HARCOURT

No, Sir; there is no such intention.
