HC Deb 24 July 1951 vol 491 c49W
Sir W. Darling

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what was the strength of the police force in Grenada before the riots; and the strength on 1st June, 1951.

Mr. J. Griffiths

The strength of the Grenada police force, excluding the police fire brigade, was 142 immediately before the strike and 173 on 1st June. Corresponding figures for special constables were 54 and 155 and it is hoped that their numbers will have increased to about 200 by the time of their annual training next month.
