HC Deb 25 November 1953 vol 521 c53W
Mr. Awbery

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty how long the Royal naval base police at Singapore have been dealing with civil cases; and what special training they have had for this purpose.

Mr. J. P. L. Thomas

This police force is a civilian force, and has been dealing with civil cases since it was established in its present form in 1938. Trained personnel have been recruited for this purpose from civil police forces, and others are trained by working under the direction of experienced officers.
