§ 35. Mr. Pendryasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will call for a report from the Chief Constable as to how many policemen have tendered their resignations from the police force of Cheshire County Council during the period 16th November to 14th December inclusive, and as to what percentage gave inadequate pay and conditions as their reason for so doing.
§ Mr. SharplesI understand from the chief constable that 13 police officers resigned from the Cheshire Constabulary during this period and that four of these gave inadequate pay as the reason. None expressed dissatisfaction with other conditions of service.
