§ 30. Mr. McEnteeasked the Home Secretary whether he proposes to take any steps to ensure that unmarried police officers in the provincial forces are provided with section-house accommodation of a standard approximating to that of the new section house at Putney?
§ Sir S. HoareThe provision of accommodation for unmarried members of a county or borough police force is primarily a responsibility of the local police authority. I am always ready to give consideration to proposals of any police authority for improving the standard of the accommodation provided.
§ Mr. McEnteeWill the right hon. Gentleman press local authorities to bring the accommodation up to something approximating that in the Metropolitan area?
§ Mr. HoldsworthIs there any reason to suppose that the standard of accommodation is not good?
§ Sir S. HoareI think it varies from one place to another, but everyone is anxious to get the standard up all round.
