HC Deb 14 May 1928 vol 217 cc643-4
12. Captain CAZALET

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he contemplates any alteration in the pay and allowances of the West African police force?

Mr. AMERY

No proposals for any alteration in the emoluments of the various police forces have been put before me.

Captain CAZALET

Is my right hon. Friend aware that the pay of these officers in the West African force is considerably less than that of any other Government officials in the same area and is quite inadequate to meet the needs of the situation?

Mr. AMERY

I will look into the matter, but I am not aware that any complaint has arisen.
