HC Deb 28 June 1932 vol 267 c1632
31. Sir CHARLES OMAN

asked the Secretary of State for India whether he is aware that there has been recently a large reduction in the number of deputy superintendents of police in the United Provinces, and also a further reduction of the number of chaukidars; and whether, in view of the rise in the list of ordinary dacoities, from 727 in 1930 to 1,124 in 1931 and to 341 in the first three months of 1932, he will have the number of police raised?

Sir VICTOR WARRENDER (Lord of the Treasury)

My right hon. Friend has no information beyond that given to my hon. Friend on the 11th May. He is making inquiries and will communicate with my hon. Friend when a reply is received.
