HC Deb 28 February 1929 vol 225 cc2195-6W
Captain O'CONNOR

asked the Home Secretary whether any and, if so, how many, police officers other than those of the C Division had any responsibility for the supervision of ex-Sergeant Goddard in the performance of his duties in connection with the control of night clubs and disorderly houses?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

The only officers, other than those of C Division who can be regarded as having had re- sponsibility, are the Commissioners and Assistant Commissioners, and the Chief Constables who have at various periods had charge of the district in which C Division is situated.

Captain O'CONNOR

asked the Home Secretary how many of the 21 superior officers of the C division who had been responsible for the supervision of ex-Sergeant Goddard were serving in the Metropolitan Police force at the date of ex-Sergeant Goddard's suspension from duty; how many are still serving in the Metropolitan Police; and what has happened to the remainder?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

19 individual officers, not 21, were concerned. Of these, 11 were serving when ex-Sergeant Goddard was suspended, 7 had resigned, and I had died. The 11 are all still serving.
