HC Deb 19 June 1969 vol 785 cc126-7W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will give for the latest convenient stated date the total number of police, both male and female, in the Metropolitan Police Force who originated from countries of the Commonwealth outside Great Britain; from which countries they came; and what position or rank was held by each of these Commonwealth immigrants.

Mr. Elystan Morgan

The only relevant information I have is that at present there are serving in the force one police constable who comes from Anguilla; two women police constables from Jamaica; and one cadet from Trinidad. An applicant from Kenya has been accepted, but has not yet taken up duty.

The Metropolitan police are ready at all times to accept recruits who meet the necessary qualifications and who have come from the Commonwealth.
