§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, as the police force is a civilian force, he will now permit them the right to take other employment after completion of their normal work on the same basis as allowed to other employees in private or public employment.
§ Mr. Merlyn ReesBecause of the special position of the police, the question of additional employment outside the service is governed by regulations. An officer can take up other employment, but only with permission of his chief officer. Any proposals to change these arrangements would be a matter, in the first instance, for the Police Advisory Board.
