HC Deb 09 September 1909 vol 10 c1483
Mr. REES

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether European supervision exists in the police Department to a greater or lesser extent than in other Government Departments in India; and whether the police Department if beyond others staffed by Natives of the different countries in the Indian Empire?

The UNDER-SECRETARY for INDIA (The Master of Ellbank)

It is hardly possible to institute an exact comparison of this nature between the police and any other civil Department. No doubt, if my hon. Friend means to comprise the whole force, including the rank and file, the European element is proportionately smaller
