HC Deb 18 May 1914 vol 62 c1601W
Sir GODFREY BARING

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in the allocation of extra funds for the police, as proposed in his Financial Statement, the central control of the Home Office will remain as it is, or whether it will be so increased as to ensure the efficient expenditure of the additional Grants?

Mr. McKENNA

My right hon. Friend has asked me to answer this question. It would be premature to anticipate the provisions of the Bill dealing with this matter. My hon. Friend may be assured that proper regard will be had to the question of efficiency.
