§ Mr. HICKSasked the Home Secretary whether tutorial appointments to the Police College will be open to persons other than members of the British constabulary; whether before such appointments are made it will be necessary for his approval to be sought; and whether the training of short-term service candidates will be on the same lines and with candidates who join for pensionable service?
§ Sir J. GILMOURAppointments at the Police College will be open to persons outside the police force, but no such appointment will be made without my approval. Candidates for appointment as short-term constables will be trained at the training school on the same lines and together with those to be appointed on a long-term engagement.
