§ 16. Sir John Mellorasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs how many British officers and constables of the Egyptian City Police have up to the present time lost their employment in consequence of the provisions of the Anglo-Egyptian treaty; and whether he will make a further statement as to their re-employment?
§ Mr. EdenEleven British officers and 81 British constables retired from the Egyptian City Police on the termination of their contracts on 31st May last. Three of the officers and 55 of the constables have now secured fresh employment. 1238 Certain officers and constables are also being considered for police vacancies which have recently occurred in the Colonies. In addition, there are vacancies for seven constables in the Gibraltar dockyard police, for one sub-inspector and one constable in the Malta dockyard police, and for two Maltese constables for the Malta police. Preparations are also being made to give 20 of the constables a short course of training with the Royal Air Force in Egypt, with a view to employment in that force.
