19. Mr. G. Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will recommend that the Royal Commission on Police be additionally empowered to review the system of promotions in police forces with a view to aiding recruitment.

The Commission are not precluded from considering promotion in the context of their terms of reference; the extent to which they will do so is a matter for them.
