§ Mr. HICKSasked the Minister of Health the number of houses under construction by local authorities in England and Wales under the provisions of the Housing Acts, 1924 and 1930, respectively, at 30th September, 1931, 30th March, 1932, and 30th September, 1932?
§ Mr. SHAKESPEAREThe following statement contains the desired particulars:
Mr. STANLEYThe annual conferences of the Police Federation, attended by representatives of all forces in England and Wales, were held in London last week, and no question of holding those conferences at the Albert Hall has ever arisen. The hon. Member may, however, have in mind a request made to my right hon. Friend by the Joint Executive Committee of the Metropolitan Police Branch Boards that a further meeting, open to all police, might be held at the Albert Hall. Such meetings have been held occasionally, but they form no part of the constitution or regular procedure of the Police Federation as laid down by Statute, and having regard to the ample opportunities for discussion afforded by the regular federation procedure, my right hon. Friend has not been able to comply with the request to hold another meeting this year.
