§ Sir J. Mellorasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why no explanatory notes accompany S.R. & Os., 1946, Nos. 1798, 1799, 1805 and 18o6, concerning the police forces.
§ Mr. EdeThe Police War Reserve and the Women's Auxiliary Police Corps Rules are short and their effect is, I think, sufficiently plain from their text.
