§ Captain Kerbyasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies, since Mr. Dyke Campbell Hill was never employed on police duties, for which he had been recruited, during his period of probation on which the decision to terminate his appointment was based, why he was not so employed before being rejected as unsuitable, or his appointment not terminated when this became apparent, instead of being employed on specialised duties for two and a half years.
