§ 59. Mr. LOVAT-FRASERasked the Home Secretary if he will consider the desirability of creating a national detective department whose duty it shall be to investigate immediately crimes taking place in any part of the Kingdom which require special ability and experience?
§ Mr. SHORTMy right hon. Friend is still of the opinion that there is no sufficient ground for considering a radical change of this kind.
§ Mr. LOVAT-FRASERIs the hon. Gentleman not aware that there is considerable dissatisfaction with the loose way in which crime is investigated by the provincial police—largely through inexperience?
§ Mr. SHORTI am not aware of the dissatisfaction, and I do not agree that there are any loose methods.
