§ 93. Mr. Walker-Smithasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the position in regard to the elimination of finger prints of those members of the police force who retired before Regulation 14 under Police Regulation 52 came into effect.
§ Sir D. Maxwell FyfeThe requirement that the finger prints of a member of a police force taken in accordance with Regulation 14 of the Police Regulations, 1952, should be destroyed when he retires continues what has always been recognised as proper practice, and I have no reason to think that any finger prints so taken of men who retired before the Regulation came into force have not been destroyed.
