HC Deb 07 April 1919 vol 114 c1704W
Mr. A. WILLIAMS

asked the Home Secretary whether the rank and file of the provincial police forces will be allowed to give evidence, at the inquiry which is about to be held, through their chosen representative and not merely through the chief constables; and, in that case, who will select the witnesses to be heard?

Mr. SHORTT

The Committee on the Police Service will hear witnesses from the rank and file. They will be selected by the members of the force themselves, generally through their representative boards.
