§ Mr. Eldon Griffithsasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is aware that in cases where local authorities are resisting his proposals for police force amalgamation, representatives of the federated ranks can encounter difficulties in meeting together to form guardian boards; and if he will provide facilities for all ranks involved in amalgamation schemes to form such boards as soon as practicable.
§ Mr. Roy JenkinsThe decision to allow these meetings rests with chief officers of police. If the hon. Member will let me know of any particular case he has in mind, I will inquire into it.
