§ Sir M. Galpernasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will call for reports from chief constables regarding the number of police cadets, male and female, respectively, employed by each authority at the latest convenient date, and, in the case of those authorities which do not employ cadets, if he will request chief constables to report their reasons for not so doing; and if he 36W will publish this information in the Official Report.
§ Mr. NobleThe number of male cadets in employment at 30th November, 1963, together with the authorised establishment, is given in the table below. No female cadets are employed in Scotland.
