HC Deb 23 November 1909 vol 13 c14
Mr. REES

asked whether any statistics were available by comparison with which the work of the Indian police might be compared with that of the police of other Governments and Administrations in Asia; whether the British system which had been as far as possible introduced into India depends to a great extent upon the co-operation of the educated classes; and whether the police reports last received from Bengal and the Punjab indicated that such co-operation was wanting?

The MASTER of ELIBANK

The Secretary of State is not aware of any statistics of police work in other Administrations in Asia which are comparable with those of India.
