HC Deb 27 January 1972 vol 829 c489W
33. Mr. Hamling

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will now make a statement on the premature retirements of two senior police officers from the Metropolitan Police and the Inspectorate, respectively.

Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) whether he will make a statement on the resignation of Mr. Frank Williamson from his position as Home Office Inspector of Constabulary;

(2) whether he will make a statement on the resignation from office of the Assistant Commissioner of Police for the Metropolis, Mr. Peter Brodie.

Mr. Maudling

The circumstances in which two officers have tendered their resignations are different. But in both cases the reasons are personal in character and I see no need to say more.
