HC Deb 15 June 1933 vol 279 c330W
Mr. McENTEE

asked the Home Secretary between what ages recruits will be accepted for the new class of fixed-period-service constables in the Metropolitan Police Force; and whether any period of training will be counted as part of the 10 years' service?

Mr. HACKING

As at present proposed, the age limits for entry on the short-service basis will be the same as those for the men taken on long-service terms—which are at present 20–25, and it is not intended that the period spent in the training school will be counted as part of the 10 years' service.
