HC Deb 27 April 1972 vol 835 c324W
33. Mr. Fowler

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will make a statement on the recruitment of graduates for the police.

Mr. Maudling

On 31st December, 1971, 267 graduates were serving in police forces in England and Wales. During 1971, 27 graduates were recruited through the normal entry procedure and 13 through the special graduate entry scheme. It looks as though the latter figure for this years should be considerably higher.
