MR. HERBERT ROBERTS (Denbighshire, W.)To ask the Secretary of State for India whether the Report of the Commission appointed in 1902 to inquire into police administration in British India contains recommendations for the further development of the village police system; and whether, by extending the use of the village police, a saving might be effected in the cost of the higher paid branch of the service.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Brodrick.)The Report contains recommendations for a further development of the village police system; but it does not appear probable that if these recommendations were adopted any saving would be effected in the cost of the regular police.
