§ 80. Lieutenant Herbert Hughesasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware that an officer appointed to inquire into the administration, discipline and conditions of the Barbados police force has reported a failure to move with the times and has recommended increases in salaries and allowances for the police; and whether he is satisfied that the Government of Barbados has adequate plans for the reorganisation of the force.
§ Mr. Georģe Hall:The report, which is a very comprehensive document, was received in the Colonial Office on the 14th of March, and there has not been time vet to consider it. The matter is, however, primarily one for the Barbados Government and I have no doubt that that Government will take the necessary steps to implement the findings.
