HC Deb 26 June 1957 vol 572 c32W
52. Mr. Redhead

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether he will reconsider his refusal of recognition to the Civil Service Union in respect of auxiliary police grades locally recruited by his Department in Cyprus, having regard to the fact that in respect of comparable grades employed by the War Department the Union is accorded recognition.

Mr. Ward

No. I consider that our auxiliary police in Cyprus, like the various Service constabularies in this country, should be represented by associations whose membership is drawn only from police grades.
