§ 29. Viscountess Davidsonasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, in view of the shortage of police throughout the country and the alarming increase in crime which has taken place over the last few years, what steps he is taking to expedite the report of the Oaksey Committee on police conditions.
§ Mr. EdeI am satisfied that the Committee has pursued its inquiry with all possible expedition having regard to the numerous important, and in some cases complex, problems referred to it. I have every hope that their report on police conditions will be in my hands very shortly.
