§ MR. HANBURYI beg to ask the Secretary of State for War what is the rule at the Government factories as to the employment of police; whether they are members of the Metropolitan Police; and whether they are periodically changed; and, if so, at what intervals of time?
§ *MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANAt Woolwich, Enfield, and Waltham Abbey the Metropolitan Police are employed; at Birmingham the local police force takes the duty. The arrangements of the force as regards personnel are entirely under the Police Authorities.
§ MR. HANBURYAre the police, as a matter of fact, ever changed?
§ MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANI believe that men of good character are sometimes employed at the factories for long terms. Whether, and when, the police at these factories should be changed is for the Metropolitan Police Authorities to determine.
