§ MR. DARLING (Deptford)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it is his intention to appoint two more Police Magistrates for the Metropolis, in accordance with the recommendations of the Departmental Committee. Are we to understand the right hon. Gentleman has decided to appoint the two Magistrates, and that he only requires the assent of the Treasury to the payment of the salaries?
§ MR. ASQUITHI am in communication with the Treasury, but no final decision has yet been come to.
§ MR. PICTON (Leicester)How many days a week do the present Magistrates sit, and how many hours on each day?
§ MR. ASQUITHMy hon. Friend will find full information on those points in the Report.
