HC Deb 05 August 1897 vol 52 c401
MR. CAUSTON

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what action has been taken with regard to a communication sent to the Commissioner of Police by the Vestry of Christ Church, Southwark, as to want of a sufficient number of police constables for day and night service in that parish?

SIR MATTHEW WHITE RIDLEY

I have come to the conclusion, after consultation with the Commissioner, that there is nothing special in the circumstances of the district to justify it being treated exceptionally as compared with other districts of a similar character. I am satisfied that the present number of police is sufficient for the needs of the districts.
