MR. SINCLAIRI beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention has been called to the limited number of police in East Ham; and, having regard to the immense growth of this district, and to the fact that 'a little girl has been most brutally murdered lately, whether he will cause inquiry to be made and see that the police force is adequate to protect life and property in that part?
§ MR. COLLINGSThe Secretary of State is not aware of any ground for supposing the strength of the police in East Ham to be inadequate for the requirements of the place, but will make inquiry in the matter.
