HC Deb 28 February 1952 vol 496 c192W
130. Mr. K. Thompson

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will consult with the Minister of Labour as to the desirability of exempting from National Service in the armed forces men who have enrolled as police cadets in under-manned forces and who intend continuing in the police service.

Sir D. Maxwell Fyfe

No. The experience gained by police cadets during their service with the armed forces is of great value and makes them better policemen.
