HC Deb 27 November 1930 vol 245 cc1516-7W
Mr. MANDER

asked the Home Secretary if it is proposed to proceed with the erection of the police college at an expenditure of £150,000; and whether he has received any communication from the county borough of Wolverhampton protesting against the expenditure?

Mr. CLYNES

A scheme for the institution of a police college is before me, and I have received a number of representations on the subject, including a resolution from the watch committee of Wolverhampton. I am satisfied that there is a real need for some such institution, but I shall not arrive at any decision to adopt this or any other scheme until I am more fully informed as to the views of police authorities, chief officers of police and others who are concerned, and have considered the problem in all its bearings.
