HC Deb 28 July 1925 vol 187 c254W
Mr. MACLEAN

asked the Secretary for Scotland whether he can state the circumstances which led up to the Chief Constable of Kilmarnock taking exception to the use of official police stationery, and the constable in question being immediately placed on street duty?

Sir J. GILMOUR

I understand that the constable in question was using paper which is issued only for official purposes, instead of the paper supplied by the local authority for use by the Constables' Branch Board which is foolscap paper without heading. As regards the second part of the question, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to his question last Tuesday, in which it was stated that the constable referred to was doing temporary duty in the office for another constable.
