§ 27. Mr. LEES-JONESasked the Home Secretary if he has now considered the proposals submitted to him by the Police Federation as alternatives to a further reduction in police pay; and whether he can make any statement as to the extent to which he feels able to give effect to them?
§ Sir H. SAMUELThese proposals, along with others for securing administrative economies in the police service, have been considered by a sub-committee 1008 of the Police Council, and steps have been or are being taken in the light of that committee's recommendations to give effect to them wherever practicable. It is not yet possible to say what savings will be secured, but as full information as possible will be obtained and laid before the Police Council in due course.
