HC Deb 20 December 1938 vol 342 cc2691-3W
Mr. Parker

asked the Home Secretary what was the number of appointments to posts above the rank of inspector in the Metropolitan Police Force for each year since 1928, and the number of junior station inspectors appointed for each year since 1933?

Sir S. Hoare

The particulars of such appointments up to the rank of chief constable are given in the following tables:—

Sir S. Hoare

Figures for the register which recently came into force are not yet available. The total Parliamentary electorate of England, Wales and Northern Ireland on the previous register was 28,772,053. I understand that the corresponding figure for Scotland is not in the possession of my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Scotland.

Sir R. Blair

asked the Home Secretary whether he will state the Parliamentary electorate of the seven universities represented by the 12 Members?

Sir S. Hoare

The latest available figures are as follow:

University of Oxford 25,071
University of Cambridge 37,804
University of London 19,475
Combined English Universities Constituency 32,646
University of Wales 9,292
Queen's University of Belfast 4,008
Total 128,296

I am asking my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he can furnish the figures for the Scottish Universities constituency.
