§ 29. Mr. Benjamin Smithasked the Home Secretary whether he proposes to make an order under the Special Constables Act, 1923, to provide that before any person is appointed to the office of special constable the justices shall cause to be delivered to him a notice in writing, such notice to indicate the date on which the appointment is proposed to be made and the manner in which information may be obtained or objections raised?
§ Sir S. HoareI am considering whether action on these lines would afford a satisfactory solution of the difficulty without further legislation.
§ Mr. SmithDoes not the right hon. Gentleman see that as the Act now stands no such powers are there?
§ Sir S. HoareAs I have said, this is a question which I am considering.
