§ 56. Mr. H. Morrisonasked the Home Secretary when successful applicants to join the Metropolitan Police are informed that they will be offered long or short service engagements; and, if not so informed until after they have completed their training at the police training school, will he consider the advisability of applicants being informed before giving up civil employment to enter the training school?
§ Sir S. HoareApplicants are informed whether they are offered long or short service engagements after being selected by the Recruits Selection Board as suitable candidates for the Metropolitan Force, and their entrance to the training school is dependent on their accepting or rejecting whichever type of service they are offered. Every man, therefore, is aware of the position before he gives up civil employment to enter the training school.
