4. Captain ARTHUR EVANSasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether promotion in the police force is in any way governed by the number and nature of an officer's arrests; and, if so, whether he will reconsider this system in the public interest?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Sir William Joynson-Hicks)The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. The second part, therefore, does not arise.
