HC Deb 02 May 1932 vol 265 cc819-20W
Mr. RHYS DAVIES

asked the Home Secretary whether in view of the fact that officers of the Metropolitan police sell tickets on behalf of the concerts held in support of the funds of the Metropolitan Police Orphanage, he proposes to change this practice; will he state the income from direct subscriptions from members of the force; and whether he will see that the representation on the Board of Management is in proper proportion to the amounts forthcoming from the various ranks?

Sir H. SAMUEL

The Commissioner of Police has decided that the practice of making house to house visits for the purpose of selling tickets for police concerts, etc., must be discontinued. The matters raised in the last two parts of the question are for the General Court of the Institution and the Commissioner.
