§ 5. Mr. Henderson Stewartasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he can make any announcement regarding recent changes in the organisation of the Special Constabulary in Scotland?
§ Mr. ColvilleI have drawn the attention of all police authorities and chief constables to various steps that can be taken to improve the organisation, training and equipment of special constables. I have also taken action to provide that each county council shall be responsible, throughout the district policed by them for appointing and dismissing special constables, for making regulations for their organisation and training, and for paying the expenses of equipping, training and employing them.
